I'm sorry for a religious thread but..

It's 1:47(loltimezones) it's not like you HAVE to be a part of this thread but I have a few questions. Whenever I ask who created God I'm always answered with "Well God exists outside of time and is omnipotent and omniscient." Or something along those lines. But then this makes me wonder since God knows everything in existence ever he would have known Satan would tempt humans into committing sin. Why would he not create Satan? So basically God knew what he was doing and made humans just to doom them? Is God an egotistical asshat douchebag or am I missing something and God isn't omnipotent at all? P.S I know God's not a he but whatever.

  • Unless he also knew what was inevitable. What if he destroyed Satan and some other angel took Satans place sometime down the pipeline. Is it silly to think that only Satan would have rebelled? In the end how much respect would you have for god if he were to just destroy anything that opposes him rather than going through a system of justice. This is what I see. Letting Satan rule earth gives benefits both to the justice system and humans. Satan gets to try to prove his point that humans dont need god and only serve him simply because he gives us shit. It also benefits humans because we learn a very valuable lesson that humans need a ruler with unified laws. We obviously cant rule ourselves. This is all obviously speculative but as an agnostic I try to put reason to a system that seems chaotic.
