   He should also know that the patent term is only 20 years. So if God had patented anything in Creation, it would have entered the public domain around 13,799,999,980 BC.

   Yeah, I heard some fearmongering that Trump had — get this — convinced a bunch of people that the Democrats had generated six million fraudulent votes, gathered thousands of those people in DC to rile them up and get them angry, sent them to the Capitol, and watched them break into the building screaming for the death of his own VP, while telling panicked allies in Congress that the violent mob “cared more”. Ridiculous! What stories will they make up next about our wonderful leader? That he grabbed a bunch of classified documents on his way out and played keep-away with them for a year?

   If God is the writer in this metaphor, then yes, he controls the outcome.

   If God is instead a reader, then he decides nothing about what the characters do, but he can reread it over and over again, skip around between pages, etc., so that he knows the outcome even while revisiting the first page.

   And if God is an editor, he has all the power of the reader, and can also propose changes to the story, but the writer still gets final say.

   Both the reader and editor have omniscience without affecting the “free will”f of the characters in the story.

   Some of the mice have reorganized as the Cats-Eating-Mice’s-Faces Party. (Don’t worry, surely the cat will only eat the faces of the OTHER mice.)

   Because they had all the time in the world to do this, and if they’d done it sooner, any errors would have cropped up early enough to correct, rather than your first notice being showing up on Election Day and being told “nope, don’t see you on the registrar.”

   Mary Howard-Elley was erroneously de-registered in January and it took her until mid-October to prove she was a legal voter and get re-registered, and that was WITH the support of an investigative team to publicize the matter until election officials felt pressured to deal with it. If she’d been dropped in September, she’d have had no chance of fixing it in time. (PS: She was de-registered in the belief she was a non-citizen. She was born in Louisiana and is a lifelong Republican and Trump supporter. Leopards, faces…)

    Along with Strod’s links, look up Mary Howard-Elley. If you object to the fact that she and at least nine other American citizens in Texas were nearly unable to vote on Tuesday, and are grateful that they are now able to do so thanks purely to ProPublica investigating the voter roll purges in Texas with deep skepticism and publicizing all the flaws in its execution, are you OK with voter fraud?
