How can a god, that apparently loves everyone, allow this kind of thing to happen?

Maybe those people also don't think "because reasons," is much of an excuse for not acting when you're entirely capable of doing so.

Quote:There is nothing that God is incapable of knowing anytime He chooses.

How would you know? Do you know everything?

How would god know? If he wasn't aware of a thing he didn't know- if there were unknown unknowns for him- he wouldn't know he didn't know them. He could claim to be capable of knowing everything, and be wrong in doing so. That's the problem with these claims of all-knowing-ness: there's no possible way to demonstrate it, because there's no upper limit to knowledge, nor any way of knowing if you've hit the "end," of it.

Quote:Do you agree that God could, if He wanted, choose not to be mindful of something in the future?

So god, in your view, opts to wipe his own mind so as to be surprised by things as they come?

And you feel that a god who, rather than helping people with his power, decides to prize his own entertainment above our safety by nuking his brain, is somehow moral?
