Your pun on Sophie’s Choice (a choice between two bad options) reveals that you haven’t yet grasped the theory of middle knowledge, for God doesn’t create such a choice for Himself. The counterfactuals of creaturely freedom which confront Him are outside His control. He has to play with the hand He has been dealt.
If we must play the hand that God dealt, that’s Satanic and fatalistic.
But if God must play the hand that we dealt, that’s love.
Brilliant observation.
