The Free will Clause
#8
RE: The Free will Clause
Fr0d0, that doesn't answer the question. I'm not big on the 'sins of the father' ideology, and neither, hopefully, are you.

For those of you unfamiliar, Fr0d0 is saying that since our ancestors sinned, we earned punishment. It doesn't make any sense, but it's all they have. He goes on to defeat his own argument in a circular way by essentially saying "God sees that you will be a sinner, so he sets you up to sin, so that you go to hell." Once again, stupidly, painfully wrong and inverted. But it's all they have.

@ElDinero:
I define free will as the ability of nature and nurture to decide what I will do. Therefore, I think we have free will, but I also think it's not really a decision. we are both correct.
