How did God pick a winner for the Super Bowl?

Dear Coach Dungy:

Where the [censored] was your god last year when Vanderjagt shanked that field goal against the Steelers?

Right. And if God created evil, then why are humans beings held responsible for evil while God is heralded as all-good?

And if god created all things why did he create the devil (or serpent) in the first place? It seems that Adam and Eve probably would have obeyed god (and we'd all be hanging out in Eden now) if they weren't talked into disobeying by the serpent.

And why would he go out of his way to tempt them in the first place? They probably wouldn't have even cared about that one particular tree if god didn't make such a fuss about it. It's like telling a kid he can watch any movie except THAT ONE. Once you say that, that's the movie the kid wants to see.

Removing or minimizing temptation is interfering with free will. Providing or encouraging temptation is not interfering with free will.

Do I win the prize?
