gollark: And really, if humans were created by an omnipotent being, why do we have so many design flaws?
gollark: As I said: what you do is quite significantly determined by your environment. This environment is entirely controlled by god, as they're omnipotent. God knows the answers in advance *anyway*, as they're omnipotent.

gollark: You should believe in one if there's good evidence that one exists, not otherwise.
gollark: Again, clear would be "written in 50-foot letters of fire in the sky".
