Well, I can understand why you might think that, but I am inviting you to consider a more detailed understanding of freedom as well as the relationship between a God who creates and the creation itself. I fully understand that you are not convinced that such a god even exists, so please try to understand that I am happy to speak of god only in a hypothetical manner.
Have you considered the possibility that you are conflating metaphysical necessity with determination?
Okay for one do not use metaphysics.. just don't because it is a crock of shit now that is done.
Your god having knowledge or should say being all knowing violates our free will. He/She/It creates the scenario we are in right now
and has planed out everything down to possible actions we take. That being said is all powerful can give us the illusion that we have free
will but we don't and our actions themselves are predeterministic like this conversation we are having now. If god was simply limited in knowledge
then sure free will can exist a all knowing being cannot allow for free will to exist as it would be a paradox of information.
The problem is the omniscient paradox you cannot have free will if a all powerful being and all knowing being existed. Because even then it's not really my
or anyone else's fault we are atheists we are atheists because it was planned like that. Then it becomes a really big moral issue for followers like so
a person goes around killing people his/her life was already predetermined by a all knowing being for that to happen. So then who is at fault the creator or
the creation that is the big moral issue when it comes down to it. Blame the creator or blame the creation the person had to choice they were forced to do
actions that were predetermined from the time they were born to the time they die. Even if you do bring up the metaphysical argument there is still that glaring
fact of the omniscience paradox to deal with.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
