Like God didn't know what would happen by giving us free will? Puhleezeee! Free will gives God an excuse to wash his hands of any thing that would go wrong with his creation and also allow him to blame, destroy and torture his creations as he sees fit since it's all our fault now.. [/quote] Wrong - God told us what He wanted us to do, and what He did not want us to do. He told us what the repercussions would be if we disobeyed and defied Him. He also told us the wonderful joy and happiness we would experience if we did as He wanted us to do. It is our choice to obey or disobey, so it is OUR choice to suffer or not to suffer. That's how much God respects us, and look at the way some of you "respect" Him... [/quote] Most of our choice's aren't choice's at all. We are driven to do most of the things we do good or bad. As far as free will goes, I didn't choose to be born here in the first place. All of us are here NOT because of our free will. We kinda woke up here one day in human form Huh? I suspect you think life is some precious gift don't you. May want to take a closer look at your/our situation if you aren't too fearful of the thing you worship. But then again you aren't supposed to question it are you? [/quote] You are right, our choices are usually at the end of a progression of influencing factors and external stimuli. However, each one of those factors and stimuli involved their own separate choices on your part, and if you possessed the knowledge, experience, and wisdom to make the right choice, you did so and did not suffer. Just as we would not touch a hot stove twice, neither should we do so with things that result in emotional pain. As far as debating the free will of your existence, you negate your existence by doing so, and you do not qualify to reap any benefits of your existence, since you did not choose it. However, you are still blessed with good things in your life, despite your ingratitude for them. If you did not want this life, then why are you so willing to accept the benefits? [/quote] Benefits? LOL! You sound like a prison guard who thinks that the innocent, railroaded inmates, who are being held against their will should be grateful for the roof over their head. Well, time for me to get ready and go to Church........NOT!!! [/quote] Your very life, your beating heart, each one of your experiences is a benefit. Aside from that, I find it hard to believe that there are no other benefits within your life that you could be grateful for. Regardless, for you to enjoy any of these yet claim that you were given life against your will is a moral contradiction. [/quote]

He didn't create evil... MAN created evil.
WOW !! I've always wondered where evil came from. Creation is beautiful in every way. So complex and wonderful. And then there is EVIL. That's when I finally just put it out there, and OMG.... He answered me in a voice that was almost audible !!!! And NO, I'm not schizophrenic. LOL
I didn't even have to think about it - it suddenly just made sense to me. FUCK FREE WILL !!!! Our Creator will NEVER infringe upon our FREE WILL. I sooooo wish he would !!!!!!!
I'm just posting this for the record. I'll just leave this thread and let you guys discuss it, if you want to.
