If God holds us responsible for causing harm, then why doesn't he punish him self since if he is omniscient and omnipotent then he is intentionally the major cause of all suffering.
So it would be only fair from him considering all of the natural disasters only that he should put him self in hell for eternity ? That's if he is as just and fair as he says he is!!!

Welcome to the forum Pel, this is the first time I've seen you post. Being that God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent then how is it He would be His own judge, with Him being these things then what He does is moral and those who are created by such a supreme being can not judge Him. God is loving that is why He judges each person so that the righteous are justified by the punishment others bring upon themselves. God did not create sin it is a manifestation of man's disobedence to God and thus must receive the punishment that is right. God will not go aginst His nature actually He can not go aginst His nature and so God can not sin because He is perfect by His own nature, God can not be tempted by sin so He can not fall to sin, this being said God is the only One that can be the judge of humanity.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
