Well, by golly, it should be if it's one of those objective, eternal thingies that theists keep going on about.
Perhaps it's that G-C thinks that us "godless nits" are incapable of observing objective, eternal truth?
What rational explanation might account for that?
My reference was only pointed toward Ehrman and Min, sorry if I offended anyone.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
