How can evil exist if God is omnipotent? And how can free will exist if God is omniscient?

My thoughts:
God created evil, which is why it exist. Free will doesn't exist because god is all powerful.

What are your thoughts?

This isn't intended as a dig at Jesus, by the way.
The thought that he enjoyed his food and drink makes me feel good for him.
That he ate and drank with unpopular folks I don't mind at all.
But some Christians can be infuriated by the idea that their God might have got inebriated sometimes.

Here are some references for your scrutiny and comments:-

Mark {2:15} And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his...

Here’s mine

1. god is infinite space
2. the world was made with people on it not long ago.
3. World will disappear and new one will appear in not that long of a time.
4. I will get to live my same exact life again. Free wills included haha
5. Oh, sprinkle a little love in there. Haha

What is the primary basis of your beliefs?*

Do you feel one primary basis or foundation is more correct than another? Why or why not?
*I understand many of you may use a combination of these to form a belief, but I used "primary" in the question above to learn what your go-to or default foundation is, which is why only one poll choice is permitted in this poll.

It is wrong to say, that we can not know all. Because there is no limit (for example, 80%) to research. If we get to know all 100%, we get to know, that we are all-knowing. Hence, the all-knowing being does exist.
My premise is: ``future research will tell us about twice as much as we know in 2021AD''.
From it I derive the theorem: ``somebody has achieved that in 2021AD.''
All you need is to accept the premise, you do not need to accept as a premise the
result of the proof.

I think most posters on RF, believe the Flood is myth: not based on evidence. But a few here accept the Flood as a literal, global event.

Anyway, let me get to these “Festivals of the Dead”. Is there a link? I’m sure that people would consider the Global Flood as described in the Bible and in many myths, whether believed or not, as unique in killing more humans than any other Event. It would be the greatest cause for remembering the dead!

So I got this
I really wanted to get some more information on your system or belief. I found it fascinating to note you have said "satanic paganism". I know about the satanic church etc etc, but I have never heard about your belief. But sigh, another day, another time. I would like to know more.
Firstly before I go on I would like to point out to all I changed my title from Satanic pagan to Luciferian pagan witch. I'll also provide the disclaimer I'm new to my beliefs. So there's a lot for...

Riffing a bit on this other thread.

Whenever I say an absence of evidence for God is evidence of God’s non-existence, theists say “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.”

So if “that’s not evidence” what would be evidence of God’s non-existence?

If God did not exist, where would we get the evidence? How would we get it?

(Edit: and I realize that not all theists believe in God-with-a-capital-G. I was a bit cutesy with the title and the OP as a riff on the previous thread. Please...

Are you in the belief that because I chose to convert to Sufi islam i should become a hater, rapist, woman hater, sexist, liar, criminal, murderer?

This is the feeling i get from a very few people, that because I personally chose to become a Muslim I would automatically become a Taliban who hate everything except them selves and their ego?

That is not the islam i see. That is not the purpose of the teaching.

Isnt it the people who do those horrible things to others that is the issue?...

I noticed recently some creationists using quote mines. What they do not understand is that the person that they are copying was lying to them. A quote mine is when one takes a part of a work out of context and tries to change the meaning of it.to support an argument. Creationist sources love to quote scientists out of context and then try to claim that disproves or is evidence against evolution. It is a form of lying since the creator of the quote mine knew that was not the...
