A thing about religious (and other) people and the illusion of free will

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Yet he would hold our eternal souls ransom. That isn't free will, that's extortion. He extorts worship from you by threatening you with eternal punishment. "It'd be a shame if something bad happened to your soul, capisce?"

That's not to mention the fact that you aren't free to change your god's plan, or do something he didn't foresee.

And that's not to mention the fact that what's being discussed here is materialistic free will, not theological.

So yeah, no. No matter how much you think you can speak for your god, in this case you're clearly wrong.

But that doesn't happen. Like, it happens if you consider God to be the malevolent entity He is made out to be in some religions. But it wouldn't happen in reality.

Nothing about God happens in reality.
