[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mother of all questions:

If God is  omniscience why did he create Satan if he knew Satan was going to fall, and then make man fall from grace?  Then from there everything just goes down hill.

I mean... we could've avoided all this if He just didn't create Satan.  So... why?[/quote]

No one knows why God let the Fall happen. It’s something we won’t know until we get to heaven[/quote]

To me that’s such a cop out. So much of Christianity requires blind faith. I just am not prepared to take core tenets of my religion on blind faith, especially when the primary text (the Bible) preaches so much hatred and intolerance. Not for me.[/quote]

Not having the answers to things that are impossible to know about the complexity of God is not blind faith. You don’t need to have blind faith to understand the tenets of Christianity. The Bible doesn’t teach hate or intolerance, it teaches truth. And for some people it hurts, and they don’t want to accept it, not because they don’t believe it, but because it means that they can’t just do anything they feel like doing.

What the Bible says not to do isn’t intolerance. It’s a warning. If you want to disregard those warnings, then someday you will suffer the consequences for it. We don’t want people to suffer those consequences, that’s why we warn people in the first place [/quote]
