Why does god test us if he already knows the outcome? The only reason to test a person is if they get a chance to try again so they can "learn from their mistakes."
God already knows which of us will make which mistakes, so he already knows who is headed for eternal salvation, and who is headed for eternal damnation. If god is truly omniscient, he cannot possibly "hope" for us, because hope implies not knowing the outcome. God already knows, so he can't have "hope" for us. To god, watching humans is like watching a movie you've already seen. You can't hope for a different ending.
By all logical reasoning, we are simply participating in a preprogrammed experiment, and our free will is only an illusion. What sane being would set such a stage?
