That part "all seeing, all knowing" got me expelled from a religion class
(Rom-cath) at age of ten for asking the priest: how come God didn't see
it coming, being omniscient and all (I didn't use that big word though).
And I wasn't wicked child or anything, just trying to understand. Your piece just reminded me of it. Whether it explains my life time cynicism and scepticism I do not know. Thanks Ted I enjoyed it.
Yeah. I explained it to myself as God giving us the free will to what we wilt if that's what we wilt. My deal now, seeing the genocides of the 20th century thanks to Godless communist ideology is that it's imperative for people to believe in something greater than themselves so that they one, don't think they're the be all end all of existence which turns people into nihilistic monsters in a way, and second, they are not so easily manipulated by the monsters who thinky themselves Gods and thus will resist their tyranny.

Looks like a plan Ted.
