that will behave itself or Go ...[text shortened]...
from grace (being omniscient, He knew it was coming since the
beginning of time).

Does this mean you don't believe God exists, or that He does exist but is stupid?

It tells us some of what "created in God's image" does not mean. It does not mean "created with infallibility".

It means that the Creation story is not literal and any attempt to understand
it that way leads to absurdities.

Yes, I believe in a Supreme Being.

Not really. I'm quite enjoying life at the moment, but then again, I'm not expecting Rapture, so I guess I dn't really have that much to look forward to...
