As I wrote, "Certainly He could know the outcome. But does he want to, before it's come?"

Why do you believe that we have a god that chooses ignorance of His creation?

Did God not know Abraham? Did god not choose to free the Jews ? (How could He if he is ignorant of events and outcomes?)

It's Talmudic that, "If I knew Him, I'd be Him," as I wrote here earlier. So I can only guess at His reasons for Creation. Though I can't help but speculate about them, in the sense that Israel means "struggle with God".

As to what I believe: One God. One morality for all humankind. That God's principle demand on us is that we treat each other decently. And that our deed is ultimately more important than our creed.
