text: if i know something for a fact am i stupid to put it to the test? if i inhale water i will drown, jump into lava i will burn. these things i know will happen so im not going to test them out, it would be stupid. so why then do christians go on about god being all knowing and then tell you that this life is a trial devised by god to test your faith. an all knowing being would know the outcome of any test in advance. why bother? if i wasn't sure whether i'd drown or not i wouldn't inhale water to test it.  the reason you wouldn't test those things is because they could have dangerous outcomes, not because you already know the outcomes.  of course testing people's faith can have dangerous outcomes as well, so god sure is being an idiot there.
