Let's suppose God is an omniscient being who knows and sees all (omnipresence and omnipotence aside... for now). He knew from the day he decided to create the angels that one of them would try to betray him, and that he would be forced to caste him into a lake of fire to burn for all eternity. God created Lucifer, did he not? He knew that Lucifer would come to Adam and Eve and tempt them with the Fruit of Passion, did he not? So why did God seemed so shocked when Lucifer betrayed him, or Adam and Eve ate the fruit? Did God NOT know this would happen? Why did he act so irrationally when he threw them out of Eden? Why didn't God just NOT make Lucifer? Wouldn't everything be okay now, and we'd all be feasting in the Garden of Eden? In a way (I know this sounds trite...), is God not to blame for all suffering?
