Don't answer my question with one of your own. You're backpedaling, and you're remarks regarding God are disingenuous as well as being untruthful. Ya see, God didn't want to just create a bunch of robots, so he gave mankind a free will, of which we are now reaping the 'benefits' of...on account of those who became pretentious & vain.

I think the argument goes along the lines that since God is both omnipotent and omniscient, He could easily have created beings with free will who would choose, through their free will, lifestyles in accordance with God's desires.

Well Dimensio, He also gave His angels a free will.
Seems about 1/3 of them decided that they were smarter than He.
