From the religious perspective, God is all-knowing. He knew how things would turn out before he decided to set them in motion. He knew man would eat from the tree if he just left them alone with Satan. So he left them alone with Satan. He knew who would be saved and who would be damned before creation. He knew how everything would turn out before he even set it in motion. And in the few times when they wouldn't turn out the way he wanted, he changed things. He "hardened Pharaoh's heart" when he REALLY wanted to kill a bunch of people, to give an example.
Why do you say that God decided to do something, implying that he had free will, when you say that he knew the outcome beforehand?
Obviously from the religious perspective God is the exception to everything. Everything that exists has to have a beginning...except God. Every one and every thing is flawed...except God. Nothing could have created the universe...except God. So it stands to reason that if free will is a myth, that is true...except when it comes to God.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
