The second has to do with omniscience and free will, but I doubt a believer would accept that God has no free will, no matter what evidence is presented.Free will doesn't mean what most people think it means. Nobody (not even God) has absolutely unlimited free will. That's not how it works. You only have the kind of free will that allows you to fulfill your True Will, which varies from individual to individual. Unlike humans', God's True Will is always good.......He only ever does good things. Humans are different. Humans are allowed to do good and evil things.
Funny. I heard tell of this book that that all my christer friends claim is absolutely true, and that book has a story in it about how almost all life was killed by this really powerful sky-dude because he got pissed off at them for not doing what he wanted. So he got this one old dude to build a really big boat, and put his family and a bunch of animals on it, and then he flooded the whole world, killing everything and everyone not on that boat. That doesn't seem like a neighborly thing to do and it certainly doesn't sound like a good thing. In fact, it sounds downright evil.
So what gawd is it you believe in that only does good?
