If God is really omnipotent then what was the point in restoring it to how it was before sin? Why not just make sin impossible in the first place?
I know, I know, the pathetic "free will" argument, well, even if such "free will" was possible, it's naturally good to make terrible things impossible or at least try and prevent them. So, to simply allow badness/evil/disaster because it's "free will" is not a good argument.
Do we allow criminals to do what they like because its their "free will"? Fuck no, we try prevention/detainment/punishment/rehabilitation etc. Not only is "free will" absurd but it's a massive cop-out to the immorality of an omnipotent God allowing the possibility for humans to commit evil. If he's omnipotent and all-loving, how does that make sense?
