That was nice. A nice try. Once you've got trapped into this kind of circular logics, that is. So it's either complete nonsense (God is omni... everything but still, we situate ourselves outside his grace or whatever sometimes; really... outside where, since there is no outside God, as stated in the premise?) or a convenient lie (we are separated from God, God being a 'deus otiosus' anyway, we are
dirt, and, if things turn up 'right' we were listening to God, and, if we do something those who invented the concept as a means of social control and pretend they know what God wants of us labeled as 'wrong', we used our free will and sinned). Very nice. I loved the way you tried to stay out of this. Trust me, it's highly unlikely that this false dilemma hasn't been twisted in any conceivable way
John. GOD KNEW you were going to EVENTUALLY start posting your great blogs directly onto Scribd because HE KNEW that once you did it you'd be featured IMMEDIATELY! Hmm...that last part doesn't count as omniscience because all your fellow scribes knew that too :)

Any time someone broaches the topic, I tell them this: Mary could've said, "No!"
