    Couldn’t god just make the abortion not work? Maybe give the doctor a heart attack, or make Jesus appear on the sonogram like he does on toast?

      I mean he could make a lot of things not work, but prefers to allow our fuck ups with random miracles mixed in. Apparently free will means letting us do bad shit.

        And that’s where the whole tri-omni approach starts to eat its own tail.

        I have a whole shtick about free will not being compatible with either a materialistic nor a tri-omni worldview. I simply do not believe it exists, nor is it possible.

          Epicurus tackled it centuries before Christianity existed:

          Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

          Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

          Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

          Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
