God is Omniscient so he knows what is going to happen before it happens, so why does he get "surprised, angry, and regretful" in the Bible?! In order to feel an emotion it has to sort of sneak up on you, like if I heard in 3 days I was going to get cussed out by some guy in a resturaunt, then when it actually happened I wouldn't be surprised or angry, just like, "hah, it did happen!" But God no only gets angry and surprised, he regrets his decisions?! Then if he regretted a decision perhaps he isn't omniscient or perfect. A personal God does not make sense to me. We are to him as ants are to us, why is God freaking out and killing kids over calling people baldies and among many other surprised angry violent acts and regretful decisions that his omniscient perfect God brings upon the world. He even had to search for Adam and Eve because he couldn't find them, and then got surprised when they ate the apple and punished everyone out of anger. Why?

Anyone explain that?!

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.

Then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
oh logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, oh, respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am!

Normally I am a dumbass who has to wear special shoes and headgear so that I don't hurt myself...but when I get on Yahoo Answers I become incredibly wise and enligtened. I can't accept your praise though...it must be GOD or some supernatural force, right?

Group A thinks that Group B bases all of its morals and ideas on a book of fairytales and the word of a non-existing being.

Group B thinks that same book and Being are the absolute truth, and anybody who disagrees can have no morals.

Not all members of both groups are such extremists, but wouldn't it be much better is the both extremists parts of either group just started to ignore eachother? They will never agree in the end anyway.

Im a Christian but it seems that i cant actualy find another Christian that ive fell head over heels in love with as much as i really would prefer to. It seems that the girls that i do fall in love with just happen to be the Non Believers. Ive been in a few relationships but just not found the right girl for me yet. My Christian Friends say a relationship with non believers would never last what do you think?
