Then you think God is incapable of whimsy, discovery or folly? If so I think we all are better off that that poor Guy.
Correct! He foresaw everything and allowed it. That's my guess anyway. I'd like to hear what the other theists here think of it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
