I never said omnipotence required doing something. You asked how God would know what would happen, and the answer is that God is omnipotent.
Besides, the Old testament, which all 3 abrahamic religions share, is full of stories of God directly interfering in the free will of man. If their God does exist, he is fully capable of stopping what's happening.
By not interfering, he's cool with babies being starved to death, and therefore a cunt.
But it's all a moot point because God doesn't exist and religion is just a tool for power and control.
Threw it into the AI and it told me that it's a you problem https://quran.com/ya-sin/47-57
It's strange how you're trying to frame children starving to death as a good thing.
It's strange how you're trying to shove the blame on everything humans do onto God.
Consider reading and responding to the link.
It is on God. All of the suffering in the world is because the first humans he created didn't use their "free will" exactly how he wanted them to.
That's a pretty cunty thing to do.
It's almost like free will by definition means that God doesn't control the actions. Did God bomb those Palestinian kids or are humans choosing to do so?
Or are those humans forced to do so by deterministic nature, thus making their action morally neutral and not evil at all?
Can you prove free will exists? Also- if your god exists, and created those people that are killing innocents; yes. He is directly to blame.
And he made us in his image, so if we're cunts, so is he.
Unless you believe that you hold no agency over the choices you make in life you believe in free will. You can observe yourself making choices.
You have stated you believe in the existence of free will already by proclaiming the act of killing children to be wrong. Without free will it would simply be a predetermined event and good and evil would not exist.
Taking it a step further, if it's impossible for humans to receive free will because of determinism, then you must also say that God has no free will. Which then absolves God of anything you deem "evil".
You're falling over yourself in fallacies and are so busy being a Reddit Atheist that you're just throwing out adhominems instead of addressing the argument. Also you're doing a lot of assumptions about me.
So if God can have free will... why can't humans have free will?
