God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Nope. Evil is an action not a person.

No he definitely did not, Lucifer made Satan through his actions.

God must ultimately be responsible for everything because even before the first atom came into existence he must have known in exquisite detail every single thing that would ever happen in this universe.

A bit like Mr. and Mrs. Hitler knowing exactly what their son would become and everything he would be responsible for and yet, still going ahead with the pregnancy!

I'd like to see how GodsLies gets out of that one!
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
