>I've considered this as well. Do you think Q means God is real and the government knows it?

I am fond of the negative theology taught by early church fathers. We do not know what God is because He transcends “being.” This does NOT mean that there is no GOD, but that GOD cannot be said to exist in the way that creation exists because GOD is uncreated (the cause without a cause). We use apophatic language to emphasize that GOD is "other.” Everything else that exists was created, but GOD, which transcends this existence, is uncreated. Thus, the essence of GOD is largely unknowable to us; we can only experience GOD directly through His presence in our heart.

Based on Q's posts, I think there is little doubt that Q "knows God is real", but "government" is an abstraction and therefore can not "know" anything in the same way that a human "being" can.

>How does free will infringe on possibility? How do the difficulties in conceptualizing free will bear on the question of divine omnipotence?

While it is true that most of day to day behavior is unconsciously pre-determined, they are those times in life when we become consciously aware of a fork in the road and we MUST choose. That is when the belief in free becomes so important.
