You're not omniscient, so you don't know why he would do what he does. You're a person of limited knowledge and understanding judging the actions of an omniscient God.

I'm not making up excuses at all. In fact, I said that I don't need to defend God's actions. He can do what he wants to do. He's the one who knows it all. Not me. You ask why an omniscient god would do this or that. Why do you claim to know better than he does?
