Background
Think of everything that's ever happened. That's part of the background.

Personality
Rather than be so personality of God - it might be better to just give this explanation by Wally:

If God is Omniscient, why does he let bad things happen - because he'd know about them and stop them if he cared, right?

"You dont' get what omniscient means. IT relates to why humanity is here. Omniscient means that God knows all there is to know right now... but not all there is to know.  That's why God was put on Earth - to learn about stuff.  So he could be the best God possible by knowing as much as there was to know... and give that knowledge back to humanity.

"Look... take the Garden of Eden, for instance. God put the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden, and said to Adam and Eve, "Don't eat from it." But he took no other action.  You think he couldn't have really prevented it?  Put up barbed wire.  A fence.  Put it on the top of an unscalable mountain.  ANYTHING.   But all he did was say, "Don't."   Basically, he was the parent, and they were the children.

"Now the moment you say to a child, "Dont touch something," the kid's gonna touch it. "Don't eat."  Kid eats.  Every dimbulb newbie parent knows that.

"Why didn't God' know it? Because it had never happened before.  He figured, what with being GOD and all, saying "No" would be enough.

"So Adam and Eve disobey, and God says, "Whoa, wasn't expecting THAT! New one on ME!" and from that came both the first punishment and the first dysfunctional family.

"Mankind is here to be God's LAB RATS. So God can continue to learn and, through God, Man learns, too.  And God's in each of us, and as we serve each other, we serve him as well."
