but god is supposedly omniscient and therefore knew all the horrible things
man would do with his so called free will before he gave it him. its a poor
argument for a benevolent god. and thats not even getting into the inherent
contradiction involved in believing in both the concept of man having
freewill and the idea of a judeo/cristian god.
