So, whats the deal? Hell or the bullet, you get to exercise your free will because you clearly have a choice (
) and you deserve what you chose right?
Or maybe you don't get to excersise free will, because it's an illusion. How then do you deserve what you didn't choose?
If you aren't making choices at all whats the point of any of it? If you are making choices but can only make the incorrect choices, what's the point of any of it? Who decided all of this in the first place? Why is he not implicated? If the first place you'll ever go to that only allows for the correct choice is the reward then why the test in a place where you could only fail? What kind of a reward is half a choice anyway? Why create a creature capable of choices at all if you're going to limit them at every turn? Is heaven really paradise or a gilded cage? Importantly, is there anything at all to flesh any of this out or are believers blowing enough smoke up my ass to floor Tommy Chong?
