The free will argument demonstrates that christians don't understand free will.

RE: The free will argument demonstrates that christians don't understand free will.
Besides the whole debate over whether or not he's real, there's also a debate over whether he's worth worshiping if he was real. For the purpose of debate, we'll say he is real. Now are you really ok with everything that goes on in the bible? Killing someone for something another person did? Slavery? Thought crime? All that crap? The problem of evil is just one thing people debate about when it comes to how god is portrayed. If you want to claim he's omnipotent and omnipresent, there are things many people think a person with that power should be able to do that isn't being done, and they have a problem with that.

The thing that is hard to understand is why a modern audience would even want to be associated with the individual portrayed in the bible, even if he was real. I know you'd rather all of us just jump on the bandwagon, but some of us are really bothered by some details written about this deity of yours.
