        Why would I be responsible? I’m not God. It’s not within my power to stop them, unlike God.

          Why would God be responsible for knowing what will happen? The human ultimately chooses whether or not to do the thing.

          For example if God can go forward in time and see something happening then he could go back in time and not make the thing happen.

          But that would would contradict the whole principle of giving humans autonomy to let things happen.

          Unless you’re talking natural disasters the entire responsibility here lies on the ones perpetrating the actions rather than God.

              Omnipotence does not require doing something. Billionaires have the capability to end world hunger. Yet they’re piling up more stacks of money. And Billionaires definitely exist.

              I think the crux of your issue is viewing it from exclusively the Christian world view where everyone goes to heaven anyways because Jesus died for our sins. The Palestinians world view is that suffering being done to someone will be rewarded in the afterlife. And the person causing the suffering will be punished.

                I never said omnipotence required doing something. You asked how God would know what would happen, and the answer is that God is omnipotent.

                Besides, the Old testament, which all 3 abrahamic religions share, is full of stories of God directly interfering in the free will of man. If their God does exist, he is fully capable of stopping what’s happening.

                By not interfering, he’s cool with babies being starved to death, and therefore a cunt.

                But it’s all a moot point because God doesn’t exist and religion is just a tool for power and control.

                Yes, and we are all agreeing they are fuckers because of it. Why it is a problem to consider omnipotent god fucker because of the same logic?

                  If God created the universe then God would have given humanity more than any billionaire ever can let alone will.

                  It’s not possible to understand the Abrahamic religions which the Palestinians adhere to by cutting out the concept of an afterlife where good deeds and suffering will be rewarded and malice will be punished. That is the whole concept of a test.
