Genocide in the Old Testament

[John V]

It does seem to follow that a non-omniscient God could be surprised by the behavior of humans (and maybe other things) and have an emotional reaction to our deeds. That resolves the problem of why the God of the OT seems so surprised at us so many times. I alway thought it was odd that he would get angry over us doing something he knew we were going to do a trilion times infiinity squared years ago.

That presumes that god experiences time the same way we do. There are also arguments re: omniscience/free will based on god experiencing time differently than we do. I go with the non-existence argument lately because I'm tired of this one.
