Theists: How can predetermined fate and free will coexist?
RE: Theists: How can predetermined fate and free will coexist?
Right, so then must the theist not admit that while god is very powerful... it's not ALL POWERFUL...? If this is true, how are we to know the actual limits of its power? These types of questions, along with realizing that obvious contradiction between free will and fate, are what lead to me being a deist and then eventually an atheist.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
