If our every thought, emotion, and attitude has been predetermined from all time then we are just avatars in God's virtual reality sim.

If that were true, why should a believer in Jesus Christ worry?

"If that were true, why should a believer in Jesus Christ worry?"

An infinite, all-powerful, all-knowing creator created a universe where his greatest creation is no better than an avatar in a virtual reality machine.

Maybe the God that created this universe isn't all that infinite, powerful, or knowledgeable? Maybe he was just a good Mormon that lived a good life on the planet Zotho a few thousands years ago and this is the best he could come up with.
