The all powerful God does appericiate our perfect understanding of Him.
He does not dislike questions.
Questions are essential for clarification of doubts and knowing the Nature of God and his purpose in creating the world.
Humans in charge of religious affairs fear that this could undermine their position and authority and no one would care for them.
In different religions reform movements did take place to fight and overthrow the tight hold over religion of its self-proclaimed caretakers. But sadly enough the reform movements over the time have themselves become the victim of new caretakers , not much different from the earlier ones.
No wonder there is perhaps no religion in the world today which does not have numerous divisions and the older the religion the more the divisions.
God cannot accept Intolerance, killings, humiliating others, mocking at others in short acting in any manner which is contrary to the basic principles of Rational Humane existence on this earth.
But since human beings, a large number at that, blindly believe in their religious leaders and books ( where the writings are manipulated over a period of time ) they don't bother to exercise their Mind ( Gods supreme gift to Mankind ) falling an easy prey to the designs of religious leaders.
There is no need for god to block our minds. He has nothing to fear. Even a non-believer can receieve his grace provided he leads a life based on Humane and rational principles.
God does not need humans for his existence. Nor does he need the Devil and Hell for humans to believe in Him.
But Religions and Religious leaders do need the Devil and Hell to maintain their control over humanbeings.

A ballot? it is like counting what percentage republicans there are yet no longer what percentage democrats there are and reporting the leads to accordance with that. you're going to get so a lot more suitable stars because stars supply word to human beings, so it is an infinite chain.

He's not "all powerful" according to this believer, and your reasoning is the flawed result of desperately trying to find a way to prove God doesn't exist.
I sometimes wonder why people do this? Is it because you're terrified that, if he does, he'll expose what or who you really are?
You're his son. Just go home and see him.

The omnipotent God equitably endows all mankind with a rational sense to distinguish right from wrong. His divine wisdom does not cause Him to stop it. The man who uses it wrongly must be responsible for his choice.

It is good to question, friend, it is bad to deny what is the truth!
The Bible says.
1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
If you read Matthew in the Bible you can learn for yourself Jesus pure truth, and what he did.
Take care.

Who says He doesn't want us to seek out true answers? Its just the opposite...
Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV)
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Keep seeking, keep asking, but be open because He will answer. Then will you believe?

"Free will" or something, there's very few arguements the Christians haven't invented a cop-out for. They're really good at it, after all they had to convince themselves of all this crap in the first place.

Oh, they'll talk about 'free will' till they're blue in the face.
The paradox of 'free will' vs. 'omnipotence' means nothing to them...

With all that power.....who could speculate what a powerful and loving creative energy could or would do.
Perhaps....give us all "freedom of will"??
