any refutations? mine were...
Why is it that when good things happen you attribute it to God,but when not it's the devil? because who created the Devil in the first place?

The fact that God(an all knowing being) needs to test someone when it's clear he'd know the answer..makes no sense to me.

Pretty much what I'd ask.

I've gone in circles with people when I've said, "But an all knowing god wouldn't have to test the faith of its followers"

The dance begins in earnest then.
