“So God can never be angry, because He made everything happen, correct?”

No, not what I said.

If God made everything happen, then there would be no Free Will, and thus no point to existence. What you said is the direct opposite of what I said in my post.

First of all, of course God can be angry...but not in exactly the same terms as a human being would be, or would even be able to understand. Who am I to decide what God can, or can’t, do or feel?

Second, what God has done is to create a world with normal physical processes, among which are human psychology, both individual and group. He gave us Free Will, meaning that if He fails to intervene in any given situation, normal physical processes will govern. Hence, lions eat antelope, not the other way around. OTOH, if He decides to intervene, then normal processes are pushed aside. Hence, the Jewish people has survived for 3,700 years or so, despite being small in number, stateless for most of the time, and hated...because God said that He would protect the children of Israel (not each individual one, but the people as a whole). Other nations without such protection have disappeared, and fairly quickly, on a regular basis.

Whatever made you think that I said that God made everything happen? I mentioned Free Will several times, not predestination.
