A) The god in the old testament is not portrayed as being omniscient and omnipresent as people conceive him to be now. Take for instance the story of Cain and Abel. After Abel is killed God asks him what happened indicating that he did not know. There are lots of other examples that show stuff like that.

God asked him because him want you to confess


Which makes no sense since you'd know that God is almighty and that you cannot lie to him.

 

OT: Assuming that he does exist and is almighty, the answer should be B and C.

Same thing goes to Adam and Eve, by the way.

Actually now that I think about it, I don't think there could be a God because no loving God would give this troll a career. He's known for his views on religion and his tweets. I'm glad we still live in a country where we are all free to believe in what we want but for somebody in showbiz, he should probably shut his mouth if he wants ratings/fans/box office revenue. I don't dislike him because he has different beliefs than me, I dislike him because he really isn't funny and has a condensending attitude that is a big turnoff.

so people in Africa die of starving because they want? And what about children in a war? They choosed that?

 

not trolling btw


Why are you taking my answer to the OP question and applying different questions to it as if that's my answer to everything?  You clearly don't know what free will is so you shouldn't have responded.  When somebody chooses to do something terrible it is their free will just as we can choose to help someone.  That is not up to God but up to the individual.  You don't have free will if when you are about to shoot someone that He comes down like Superman to ricochet the bullet off his chest and fly you to the nearest police station.  We are free to make our own decisions in life, that is not to say that there won't be consequences in this life in terms of the impact on others and doing illegal things.  

 

Yeah you're not trolling 



Duality

its the way we live

it allows for "evil" and "good" to co-exist

Either god doesn't exist or perhaps this is just a simulation that runs its own course with no outside stimuli such as the 'creator' interfering in our universe (despite people suggesting that's what jesus was and all that jazz).

There is just no real evidence for the existence of god so we can't make a definitive answer. Occam's razor and shit.

Never hurts to include one. I find the answers lacking, and I just want to know the result.

I'm pretty sure it's (D) that is the most voted though.



Because the distinction what's terrible or great is strictly in the eye of the beholder.

When the military is killing people our governments declared as "enemy combatants" or "islamic terrorists", we may be delighted to the point of dancing in the streets, considering it a great thing and even thanking god.
The killed "terrorist's" family, relatives etc. on the other hand may consider it the greatest tragedy ever, crying how god could possibly let this happen.

The "terrorist's" small childs (who with their own eyes saw their own father's body torn into pieces, swearing to themselves to punish those evil bastards who killed their beloved father) may later become freedom fighters, trying to kill as many of the evil enemies occupying their country, killing civilians, exploiting their natural resources etc. When they launch a successful attack that kills dozens of enemy soldiers, they may consider it a great thing and thank god for being able to avenge their beloved father's dead, while at the same time, the children, wifes, friends etc. of these killed soldiers will mourn the terrible events, crying how god could possibly let something like this happen.
