This is exactly the comment I expected Linear. Once again, willingly misinterprets and misrepresents, without even wanting to understand this from God's perspective. I feel you are personally looking for reasons to keep yourself in a critical state of mind towards God or any belief thereof. Does believing the worst of God somehow give confirmation and comfort to a personal lack of faith and possibly pride too when people choose to do this?

Those who have rejected God and His word and have already set themselves up for an alternative (even if it means believing in strong delusion). The bible says they are without excuse, the evidence for creation is all around them. They prefer instead to deceive themselves and one-another.

To send a strong delusion (to allow it, even if it stems from man or the Devil), is to separate the sheep from the goats in my opinion as the delusion stems from pride. It allows those who have rejected God and His word, to instead hold onto an anti god philosophy and in a sense forces people to make a choice, whilst causing those who do believe in God and are loyal to have their faith put to the test (Refining believers like gold is refined).

God has already made it clear that the evidence for creation is all around us and I will repeat "They are without excuse". He hasn't let anybody down in regards to evidence. If you wish to interpret it from an anti god philosophy, then remain deceived, but you have nobody to blame and nor does anybody.

Nobody is immune to deception, but the grace of God is a great eye opener and protection against it.
