Why would God be such a bad speller? And would God really be a geek?

Didn't God also make the devil though?

Why so confused? If God made everything - including the fallen angel Lucifer - then why do we assume God makes only good things?

But wasn't Lucifer good when he was made? Wouldn't that mean that God does only make good things, but can't necessarily prevent them from becoming corrupted?

Don't all things go according to God's plan? I thought I remembered hearing something about the "divine plan" in school, was I truly paying so little attention?

Does God seem like the kind of guy who would plan stuff out billions of years in advance? Don't you find it likely that He only works in mysterious ways because He has no idea what He's doing?

Isn't that what the divine plan is all about? Isn't it the course of all things for all time?

A full plan of everything that's ever going to happen at every point in time everywhere in the universe? What is He, some kind of god?

Anyway, are you saying that He knew, even as He was making the Earth, that He would have to curse Adam and Eve, and eventually flood the whole place? Why wouldn't He do something to stop that from happening?

And have you ever read the Bible? Because God often seems pretty surprised about what's going on, doesn't He? Or is He just a good actor?

What if God just has a far better understanding of the whole good/evil thing then we could ever hope to have? If God is omnipotent then why wouldn't (s)he have known and how could (s)he be surprised?

What's with the "(s)he" business? Has anyone ever put forward any evidence that God might be a woman?

The Bible refers to God as a he, making him a he, and not a she, right?

Who said the bible is truth? Bible people? Aren't they just slightly biased?
