Which god are you talking about..... There's actually quite a few in human history/theism.... If your god is omnipotent why doesn't he change things? He could, according to you... But he allows 9/11 to occur.... Because he's "testing you"....

Ok.... Here's one of my "biggies".... God is omnipotent, right? Satan was an archangel, right? Archangels aren't anywhere near as powerful as an omnipotent being, right? So why doesn't god just kick his ass and have done with it? It's either a FUD issue or god isn't omnipotent or, worse yet, god is like the cat playing with his mice..... he _likes_ to screw with them.... let's not mention dropping in the odd hurricane or volcano to really mess with their minds.... It doesn't make sense for a _benevolent_ supreme being to be simply messing with his creations like toys without any emotions.... Why, and I am asking that question, would he/she/it do that?
I got an intelligent response from a believer..... Are you capable of the same? Quote the scripture if you like, but then be careful to back it up with the entire statement the authors of you scripture made in the instances you quote. If you can't come up with a section of the scripture that explains this "little anomoly" then please feel free to apply your own logic and intelligence and explain "WHY" to me..... I'm dying to hear it.... honestly...
