I never tire of pointing out the absurdity of this concept of god's omniscience and the free will of his subjects. To begin with, an omniscient entity does not, cannot, have free will of its own, how can it? As you point out, god is aware of all happenings, past, present, and future. From this I can only conclude this god of yours is frozen in time. Can god change his mind? Of course he can't everything has already happened. So how in the blue frozen hell can this god of yours give his creation attributes that he does not, cannot, posses himself? If god is omniscient then by definition he can't be omnipotent.
I genuinely feel great pity for this omniscient god of yours. The planck second he came into being he was faced with the horrible realization.
I have no mouth, and I must scream.
There’s also the problem with an omniscient perfect mind being negatively affected by limited, temporary trauma.
Of course, I still haven’t heard a logical answer as to why a perfect being would create imperfect beings to begin with. There’s absolutely zero reason for god to create intelligent primates, test them on this mud ball, and then spend a blissful eternity with the ones who succeed. A bunch of trite word salad about god’s love and grace and goodness, but nothing that sufficiently answers the question. Which, for me, is pretty important. If worship is demanded of me, I want to ensure it’s justified.
It does provide ample chuckles, however.
