I'm thinking about the game <i>Civilization</i>. I'm in charge, but <i>man</i>, do I mess things up! There's too much going on at once, and I have no idea how to take care of all of it at the same time. What if god is omniscient--knows everything--and omnipotent, but doesn't have the <i>intellect</i> to decide what the best action is? I mean, he has all the power, and all the information at his fingertips, but he can't make sense of it, and tries his best to perform, but just is not very good at it. What if he's upset right now, reading all this, <i>not</i> because it's anti-Christian, but because <i>we're actually pointing out the faults accurately, and he knows it, and he's terribly insecure!</i> He could be crying right now. Then what, Jake? Then what? Consider this fully before responding in your head: What if god wasn’t really good at it? I’m thinking about the game Civilization.
