I wonder if the writers of the old testament did not put an omniscient characteristic on God. God seems angry that the world is so full of evil and then says he regrets making man and floods the world. When did we decide that if God exists he MUST be omniscient and omnipotent?
According to medieval Christians, animals have unfree wills because their reason can't override their feelings. This would be all according to God's plan. So God created most of the beings unfree. Yet those same Christians would say a world with free will is better than one without. Either God made beings doomed to suffer unfreely or free will isn't always good.
Christianity is willingly giving up your free will to serve God and the bible claims we're sealed by the holy spirit. So why doesn't God take that into account and actually help us be good.
Our world is not just free will problems. We are messed up.
If it's impossible for a good all powerful God to be the God of the world we live in, is the foundation of Christianity constant gaslighting?
