If he did so that would violate freewill, resposibility, revelation, and the reason for freewill and consequence in the first place. Sounds like you prefer to be an automaton. People left to who chose evil inspite of their God given concience, revelation, and the appeals of Godly men would naturally be responsible for that. Our whole (secular) system of justice is based on that principle.
Once again you fail to answer how killing someone doesn't violate their free will. You can ramble all day about how your god couldn't blink goodness into the existence of his creations because he couldn't violate their free will but he felt justified in destroying their free will by killing them. I'm a bit sad that anyone is comfortable with that, it just makes world wars possible.
The flood was not planned beforehand. It was known before hand I assume but not planned. That has no effect of the resonsability of the people who rejected God and chose evil as their God instead. He said he would never do it again by water. It will be done again according to the bible only he will not do it this next time, we will. It looks like we are getting close to that time. What is a Godbotherer? I assume it can only be some negative novelty term of derision. And I assume that includes people like Mother Theresa, Ghandi, the monks who invented the concept of the modern hospital, all those faith based orginizations that provide wordwide relief from misery, Christ, the people who created the U.S. public education system,etc....... yeah lets stop those people.
Are you now claiming that your god didn't plan any of this? He just fly's by the seat of his pants even though he knows full well EXACTLY what will happen? Are you serious? Get outa here!!!!!! He knew before he created Adam and Eve that he would destroy the Earth and then promise never to do it again by water, just what sort of hypocrite is your god? The monks who invented Benedictine are my most favoured religious people of all time, that reminds me I need a bottle.
Not just me me but a vast number of scholars, philosophers, and scientists. Because I, you, or God choose not to do something does not mean we are incapable of doing it. For goodness sakes the only way God wouldn't violate your silly standard is if he did every concievable thing that could be done. That's logical, and also impersonal.
Oh dear, play the heartstring song. I'm sorry but your god is allegedly capable of anything, he in fact is described in the bible as having the EXACT attributes (doesn't that strike you as a bit odd) required for such a god to be capable of creating everything. But now your saying that he voluntarily limits his capacities because if he didn't then most of the stories written about him don't make sense and they must make sense or all of your life is a waste. You and others love to compare your god to US, like he's the same and I must agree, he was created by ancient man in the same form as the leaders, rulers, kings, despots, petulant brats that they had had contact with or knowledge of.
You keep asking the same illogical questions over and over,. You should get some different seminars on the schedule. I said at least twice this granting of freewill is not for an infinate time. It is finite and that time is determined by God.
I have no idea what seminars you are lieing about, but this concept that your god is somehow so insecure that he can at a whim kill people and animals and plants because what he knew would happen actually did happen, because that is how he created things is a seminar to far for you. If you tried to think about your god, you might be surprised. If a god exists, it's not the one you worship, it's not some p1ssant ,petty, spoiled, bureaucrat that dominates your life. I suggest a walk on the real side.
If I am wrong about your premise then your position is even less logical and incoherent. This plan would have to be consistent with revelation and God's purposes. This is something that you do not have the capacity to judge. "Sorry but you can't know the mind of god you have said more often than I care to recall." Exactly with the exception of revelation. If God states why he did something I not only can know it but am expected to know it.
Once again you claim to know your god's mind. Theists do it constantly all the time proclaiming that nobody can know god's mind, when will you ever get it. So you know your god's mind but I don't have the capacity to judge your god's mind. Ever heard of hubris. ********God states********* according to ancient goatherds, I don't for the life of me understand why I'm not convinced by something that every man and his dog has a different interpretation for. I must be simple.
This did nothing to clarify whatever in the world you originally tried to say. It only added another layer of confusion.
Your god knew from before he thought about creating anything that he was going to kill every living thing on one of the planets he created with a flood, he also knew that he would promise never to do it again. That makes him the universes greatest hypocrite. He knew he would do it and planned his apology for after he did it, what a LIAR.
