Yeah, Fatima. Some 50 km from here. I don't usually stare at the sun, but when I do, I use proper filters.

Funny story a couple of years ago. The faithfull on the internet were claiming on the 13th of may there was another sun miracle. I went outside and contemplated a 22 degree solar halo. It is awesome to see, but no miracle.

Though I feel like I've already answered that question and given my explanations. I'm not sure how else I can say the same thing.

Ok, let me try again.

"Explain to yourself first, and then anyone here, how anything is free if it cannot be any other way because the outcome is already known by God."

So far, you're explanation is simply that God stands outside of time and space, but this does not even begin to answer the question, that only explains HOW he experiences all things (and not very well at that), it does not address at all how that gives you or anyone free will.  You've simply sidestepped the question, not answered it.

For instance, right now, you have the "choice" to respond to me or not.  God already knows which way that will be.  How are you choosing it, then?  Can you possibly CHOOSE the other way that God has not forseen?? 

If the answer to the underlined is no, then how is this a choice at all?

My bold added.

it's all good but the bolded part is particularly epic.

Well, I butchered a family of Amalekites just a week ago, so I suspect I'm pretty high in the Divine graces.  I've got rather a lot on at the moment, but the next chance I get, I'm going to find a kid who is being rude to his mum and kill him with rocks.  If that doesn't lock down me path to heaven, I'm sure I don't know what will.

Fucking Amalekites!

We need a comprehensive and conclusive DNA test so we can utterly remove any trace of those foul monsters that remain !!!


Praise JESUS and DEATH to the Amalekites !!!!!!!!!!
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

My bold. This was definitely neither witty nor epic. Myopic, yes, but neither witty nor epic.

This response however was both very witty and very epic:

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

What makes it epic?  Is it; because, it wasn't concerning any point, that Neo was making.   Also the analogy, seems to completely miss the point!
