It gives me comfort to visit these sites from time to time. The OP shows an ignorance of Christian theology and just basic crude reasoning. In Catholic theology, and in other churches, grace, free will and predestination combine to effect salvation or damnation. That is basic Christian theology and you should know what you're talking about before you spout off. There is no excuse for your ignorance as what I have just informed you of is readily and easily available.
And you are doubly wrong. I've never read Plantinga but I would be very surprised if he said free will is the only source of human suffering. I've never read a Christian writer who did say such an obviously foolish thing. Why doesn't that occur to you?
As I read through these posts I do get comfort. I can honestly say, I have never talked to or read an atheist who doesn't demonstrate his or her ignorance of Christianity and some really poor thinking besides.
