Did God Give Us Free Will?
#1
Did God Give Us Free Will?
This is the fourth thread in which I ask theists very simple questions that deserve very simple answers. The last one was Why Would You Worship?

The questions I propose to you are:
  1. Does your god know everything?
  2. Did your god give you free will?
  3. Does your god know your future actions?
  4. If your god knows what you are going to do tomorrow, do you have free will over what you are going to do tomorrow?

Oh, come on.

You could really check on recent discussions too. These last few days you did nothing than post threads about things that have been rehashed again and again ad nauseam. Same as any wayward theist coming to these boards.

You are kidding, right? On each of the threads I posted I have been the last to respond. I have responded to EVERY SINGLE theist post that has popped up.

You are asking questions of theists on an atheist forum shuffle. Further you hold to an atheistic worldview yourself and don't hold the God view as plausible. So one must ask your intentions for asking these questions in a setting such as this. If there is no God, there is no meaning and purpose other than what each person conjures for themselves. So those that believe in a flying spaghetti monster in the sky satisfy the purpose and meaning of your worldview. So what is your point in asking these. I will answer your questions after I get home.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.

Not again this was just done, so please look before starting a post.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Can you all just come your asses down? Geez! I made a mistake. I've only been here for a few days. Give me a break. I search every time before I create a thread, but the searching system is so crappy I can never find what I want.

Who is this god you speak of?

My questions are more heavily directed towards Christians, because that is who I am most familiar with.

God does not exist.
