AJW: I also said this, as a demonstration of how the existence of knowledge of the future removes choice:
Indeed mamacita. God could have made me, and the universe, any way he wanted. He could have produced any outcome, at any point in my life. So he literally chose every single thing that happens, because he could have picked something different.
How anyone can then claim I actually have free will, and am choosing to do the things God chose I would do is unbelievable scapegoating nonsense.
