Debate: Remove "In God We Trust" from pledge and U.S. Currency
Side: yes

I wouldn’t put anything past that rotten bastard.Put what past him? Amnesia? Just because God knew what would happen does not mean that He would prevent it. His whole idea from the very beginning was for us to have free will, so to prevent all sin would to be preventing free will.Not creating Satan in no way eliminates freewill. Actually, chance has everything to do with it. Because you say so? Where is your argument?Let's assume you are right. What do you think your chances are of offending me by calling me a booger-face? If you repeat the insult would the chances increase?Well, God is three divine Persons so I think it is fair to say He is on a whole other level when it comes to Him being offended as opposed to ourselvesThis is a non-sequitar. Whether God is one divine being, three divine beings, or a million divine being, makes absolutely no difference to the argument that was made. I don’t think it has anything to do with imperfection, at least not in the person who is offended.I do. Damaged ego is the most common cause of being offended.God made man in His image, therefore there will be similarities between Himself and His Creation therefore for us to be offended by those that hurt us should not be so different to God being offended also.Do you think we were made in his image - physically or Personality wise?This is not an impairment because it is just you who sees the time issue as negative, not me or the billions of other believers.Well it doesn't really matter if that's how you see it. It can and still is wrong. Just because billions of people believe something, doesn't grant it some magical immunity from factual/logical error. On the contrary billions of people believe things which are demonstrably false, all the time.That something wasn't done that should have been done, means somewhere it was prevented from happening by some impairment or failing. You used Yahweh's perception of time, as reasoning for precisely this. That makes it an impairment or hindrance.What you are doing is little more than rationalizing the holes in your doctrine.Who is “he”? God? Satan? Job? Be more specific.Let me clarify:Thus he {Lucifer} would be aware of the power {of Yahweh} to see into the future, assuming he{Yahweh} posses such power.Assuming you mean God (as He is the one we have been discussing to see the future) what does that have to do with Satan wanting and failing to destroy Job’s faith in God?It doesn't, nor had I said anything to that effect. The point is, If Lucifer knew Yahweh could see into the future (which presumably he would) then he would not have entered into a wager with Yahweh.I find it quite interesting that whilst so many atheists have said this very same thing and judged God for all that He has done for us, they still cannot find a logical explanation to explain another way that He could have wiped out all evil and still have given us free will other than “He is omnipotent; an omnipotent God could have thought up something”. Very interesting.Is this what gives you solace? That the people whom you've debated with can't come up with a better solution? Is God's ability to conceive solutions, or to produce them, limited to what debaters on the internet have mentioned?I don't know exactly what is being solved here. Was anything solved by the flood? Do we not have just as much 'evil' today as we did before the deluge? According to what you said above God doesn't want to "prevent all sin", because he wants to encourage freewill. But isn't that the intent (or at least the effect) of the flood? You think global genocide is justifiable, but to NOT create Satan is wrong?As for your solution, I already mentioned. Yahweh could have created humans with a greater propensity towards doing good. We are to understand that nothing takes away your freewill more than being killed. So as for your argument it's complete bullocks!Loving beyond comprehensionYou seem almost proud of the irrationality of your position.God can only do that which is consistent with His naturePrecisely why he isn't omnipotent. An omnipotent being can do anything and everything.Why do you keep calling Him Yahweh? An atheist shouldn’t be concerned about His name so would probably use the shortest possible such as God.I've called him both. God is a title, not a name. Why does it matter?
