10 Questions Biblical Literalists Cannot Honestly Answer

Why did god get all so bent out of shape when he copped A&E chomping on the magic apple? He knew the end result before he created them, and least we forget, omnipresence. Not only did he know what they would do, he watched them do it! What the fuck?
alpha male; could you address this please.

Sure.

First...atheists use omniscience selectively to create false issues. Here, you're apparently taking the standard atheist position that omniscience precludes choice...yet you're only applying it to A&E, and not God himself. Are God's own actions not part of His omniscience? Why not? If God's own actions are included in His omniscience, then why do you act as if he had a choice about getting "bent out of shape"?

I'll let you address that before continuing.

I agree: God by definition has no free will since that would be contradictory to his omniscience. He cannot do anything that he did not foresee himself doing. Therefore he holds no responsibility for any of his actions and is more like a powerful automaton than a person.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
