A man walks up to you and tells you that you have two choices.
Either you hand over your wallet or get your brains blown out.
Where is the freewill in those choices?
Scenario 2/
God says worship me or burn in hell for eternity.
Where is the freewill in those choices?
I have asked these questions before, and the answer I get is "God is bound by freewill. Therefore no matter what he does, humans freewill is intact. God is mysterious because of this. The theif, on the otherhand, is using his freewill to commit a sin against god by removing the freewill of another human."
Yeah..they do mental gymnastics like that. Thats why I really dont bother with debating them anymore.
The entire rule is "God is the exception to the the rule, and therefore proof that he is mysterious"
