Souls and God

Name: Nanami 2008-05-20 12:35

Now I haven't read much about logic or stuff so if someone could formulate my problem with a better language I'd be thrilled.
Let's say God is omniscient.
Because of his omniscience he will only act in one way, seeing how he's because of mentioned omniscience seeing himself act in the future, now and the past.
Now let's take a soul.
God is the creator of all souls, since he is the creator of everything. Which means that he makes a conscious decision when creating a particular soul. Because of his omniscience he will see this souls future before he's even created it, he will see whether or not this soul will sin or not.
Now here comes my point:
If God is truly omniscient, then why does he knowingly create souls that inevitably will sin and revolt against God, thus being condemned to hell?
The way one can explain this is if God's either not:
Omniscient

or

All benevolent

What do you guys think?
Did I think it through this time?

Terrible. You fail to realize that this "proof" you speak of is necessarily based on a set of unprovable assumptions just like any other religious view.

Science is just another religion because it relies on the existence of an unprovable Truth, that being: Observable phenomena is the be all and end all of reality and what we observe must exist in the way we observe it objectively of our perceptions and learned interpretations.

Your ranting about how proof is OBVIOUSLY important when it comes to matters more complicated than social interactions coupled with your failure to explain WHY it is important in these scenarios and your insulting of those who disagree with you makes you sound like a typical brainwashed-by-dogma religious freak.

Yow! Boy redcream you're sure getting slaughtered tonight, perhaps it's time to quit drinking?
