Why Bother?

So, in continuation from the subject matter of the might of Yaweh. First, let's understand something. Omnipotence and Omniscience. It is one thing to be the most powerful being to ever exist, but to be omniscient means to know absolutely EVERYTHING. Past, present and future. This ties into the claim that "god has a plan." God has allegedly predestined every thing that has happened, is happening and is going to happen. He knows about it ahead of time, yet sometimes, he still just gets so angry about the things that happen. A perfect example out of many is the Biblical flood myth. God created the world and all the people who inhabit it, but they were just so "sinful" and crooked that it got to a point in which as described in the bible, god decided to kill every man, woman and child on planet earth by drowning them omitting a 600 year old man and his family of three in addition to 6,000,000 animals on a 134 meter long, 22.25 meter wide, 13.1 meter tall boat. Any way, how does it make any sense for a god to become so enraged by things he knows in full detail are going to happen? Well it doesn't. Furthermore, in recent years, you frequently see so many religious people protesting, lobbying and complaining about things they see as corrupt. If these people are protesting in the best interest of the preservation of the law of their god, What is the point? If they damn well understand that their god "has a plan," why would they make any attempt whatsoever to alter the progression and outcome of events? If it is understood that all things happen only if it is in accordance to the will of a their god, why reject it? Why pray? It is a simple untold truth, theists fight tooth and nail to protect their own interests and remain in some feeble state of control and power. In these times it is much more difficult for them and in a much grander perspective, to do so would be very selfish. A complete waste of time. This would not be much of an issue if there was no religion....
