"Free will"? My ass. Dumbass was asking a ball to roll uphill, while stacking the table against it.
The clincher is that if God created everything, he also created choices, thus elimination even any semblance of free will. And even more damning (pun very much intended), God also created the consequences of those choices.
The inescapable conclusion is that God knows which people are going to Hell - because he forced them into it -, but he created them just the same. It seems to me that God could have created only those people who would NOT end up in the fiery fire of fire. He didn't so, you know, fuck God.
Boru
Either he knew or he didn't know.
If he knew he was creating people only to suffer for eternity, then he is party to that suffering.
If he didn't know where they'd end up, then he is not omniscient.
Either way, the Christian conception of god is outgassed.
