RE: 10 Questions Biblical Literalists Cannot Honestly Answer
more in line with His expectations
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

He's omniscient - it's happening exactly to His expectations.

well, no it didn't.

By His own admission.

Great - then there's no problem. Everyone can go about their business as though there's no such god. Suits me.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Something doesn't need to be unexpected in order to cause grief.

Abraham was willing to kill Isaac for personal fame and fortune. The story is in contrast to the scene where Satan temps Yeshua by offering him the world if he would worship him. Yeshua declined. Abraham accepted. The story is also based upon the 4th Commandment where Yahweh says that all that opens the womb is his, which means that the parents had to kill their first born or redeem them Abraham was supposedly able to redeem Isaac with a ram that he had caught in a thicket.

Later on in the fairy tale Yahweh said that the dummies should have been samrt enough no to kill the kids but they were idiots so they did.

Suppose you had to kill your son to save your wife. When you got married you took a vow to foresake all others. You never took such a vow for your son. So were you just lying when you pledged to foresake all others for your wife?

Better how, and for whom?

Less suffering for those he purports to love.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

According to the biblical fairy tale Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews and the God of the armies, beats the crap out of the ones he loves. So the more you get beaten the more he loves you.

Suffering isn't bad if it leads to something good. People voluntarily take on suffering all the time. In this case, temporary suffering provides a deeper relationship with God, and that is eternal.
