Free Will Theodicy
#41
RE: Free Will Theodicy
You do consider yourself one. The waffle is typical.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Gnosticism is really not typical. Most Christians don't even know what it is.

Most christians have no idea what christianity is. I don't think your complete lack of any spine or the more general tendency for religious ignorance marks you out as special.

I wish it did.

Having a spine is overrated. The hyper individualistic, try-hard ethos is just not for me.

Ethos of any kind, really? Right? You don't have one of those, you want the thing.

Maybe I want the thing so much that it might as well be an ethos.

Do you think free will is a real thing?

I think it's a misunderstanding of something our brain does. If I ask you what you're even asking me about and you say that you picked a snickers from all the candy bars in the vending machine - yeah..sure. I think that's a real thing.
