VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|charlie|DATE|1367937228|CONTENT|I want one of these good xtians to explain to me why the IMF, which supposedly knows everything that was, is, and ever will be; that is this same IMF could supposedly tell me exactly what will happen on the very spot I now sit in will happen on this very spot 5,000 years from now. OK, given that, how come this same IMF did NOT know before he (the IMF is always a &quot;he&quot;) that Eve and Adam would eat that fruit.
This IMF should have KNOWN with 100% certainty, that they would eat the fruit BEFORE he planted the damn tree.
And, &quot;few will&quot; is NOT an out for said IMF. An &quot;all knowing&quot; god would have been able to account for &quot;free will&quot; as well. In my view, that makes this IMF NOT &quot;all knowing&quot;, therefore (to me) all other &quot;attributes&quot; of said IMF are also bogus.
Just a question I have pondered off and on, mostly off, since I was 13 or 14 years old. Oh, I passed my 65th birthday this past December, so this question has been kicking around in what passes as my brain/mind for some years now. So far, I have found no answer from any religion and figure that no religion can answer me. Well, that is why I am a heretic/heathen I suppose.
Sorry to take so long to get to my point. Any reply will be appreciated, and it does not have to be from any religious type person. Anybody have a  thought on this? I ma just curious that way.
Cheers to all and a HUGE thanks to the Rev. Dr. Peter for this wonderful web site.|EMAIL|bear4751@gmail.com|IP-ADDRESS|173.217.187.109|MODERATIONFLAG|
