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.

It's not what God needs to know, the test is for the individual to learn from.

So an all knowing god would know what lessons the person needs to learn and be able to tell them directly or through his sexless little puppets - I mean "angels".

But apparently he's unable to do that in modern times. Whereas it was supposedly quite common in the OT days.
