I never got this. They say he is omnipotent, therefore he does not perceive time in a linear way like we do. He knows everything that ever was, is and will be all at once. So there is not much to test here. Either he does the things needed to make me a believer or he doesn’t. It’s his choice and not mine. Free will is meaningless here, even if it does exist, he does already knows my choice before I make it or he is not omnipotent.

Sure, but “God works in mysterious ways,” so it’s not my responsibility to clear up any paradoxes that arise from my religious axioms. Get with the program.

“God works in mysterious ways” is a nice way of describing him as a Lovecraftian horror we cannot possibly understand.

Well have you ever read the depictions of angels in the Bible? Very lovecraftian. You may even say it’s a precisely what inspired Lovecraft.

That, and his insatiable hatred for all things dark akinned

Lovecraft didnt hate, he feared. His was a racism born and fed from paranoia, convinced that literally everything actively wanted to hurt him.

Makes the racism in his writing make a lot more sense.
