Welcome to the hashtag SDR ask podcast. And Greg, in the last episode, we we kind of touched, there was a part where we were touching on God's omniscience when we were talking about God being perfect and God not regretting it and those sorts of things.

So here's a question that follows from that. This one comes from Dan Edwards.

Greg and Amy would love to hear your thoughts on God's omniscience.

God uses fear tactics to control your mind. God loves you so much that he's watching your

every move and knows her every thought. Is this good? This is why I define religion as man-made

mythological mind manipulation. Well, there's a lot there as is often the case in a challenge about God. This is just a more of a

strategic concern when people raise challenges. There's oftentimes a bunch of stuff mixed in

that you have to separate out and you have to parse out. So in the question,

there is the claim that God uses fear tactics, as if this is somehow morally questionable.

Okay. Then he uses those tactics to control your mind. Not even sure what that means.

He might say fear tactics to get you to do what he wants.

Okay, that's, I get that.

I get what he's talking about.

I get what he means.

I don't know sure what he used fear tactics to control your mind.

What that is.

If I were in conversation with Dan, I'd want to get more

detail or clarification on that. He also says, I'm looking for it now right here, right? Okay.

God loves you so much that he's watching every move and knows your every thought. Well, watching every move and

knowing every thought is not a function of his love, it's a function of his omniscience.

Okay. Nevertheless, when one thinks about love, we have two teenagers, and we are watching their every move.

Why?
