Quote:But that is what free will advocates are arguing: free will of the evil doer is more important than the evil done to his victims. If you believe there is evil in the world and that allowing evil is evil, and you don't buy the free will argument you are left with three choices:We are slaves to either God or sin, their is no free will either.
1. God is omnipotent but evil.
2. God is not omnipotent.
3. There is no god.
You appear to have chosen option one. There's plenty of Biblical support for that. But why would you worship such a god?
So why do I want to worship God? I do not want to be bound/be a slave to sin.
Nonsense, you don't want to fry in hell. That's all the Christian belief system is, the fear of punishment.
