text: 1. Unless you think you know everything that God does, it is not pointless, it is rational to consider. Dismissing it ignores a possible reality. But it gets you out of having to argue persuasively.
  
  2. God knowing the outcomes still leaves us with the choice. He did not create us only to suffer, as some will choose Him and avoid that outcome. Others will not. You may think that is a problem; I see it as an opportunity not to be missed.
  
  3. Here you resort to ad hominems against God, if that is possible. If God exists (and He does) then try as you might, you just don’t have the power to change anything. But if you really feel that way about Him, you will be happier in hell not being bullied, right? So maybe that is not suffering after all in your thinking.
  
  The Bible is as real as it gets. A man who claimed extraordinary things was killed, but came back to life, witnessed by over 500. It has spread to billions. Those are some pretty divine results from a uniquely divine beginning.
