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

Shitty people set out to to bad shit is one thing.  Normal people set out to do decent shit and arrive at genocide...another.

Yeah, I was focusing on the bad parts for some reason. That said, you are right.

Either way, though, beliefs about God and things about religion do tend to be nonsensical or just...heavily flawed. Maybe not all things, of course, but like stuff that is in the bible and all, there are some contradictions here and there, right?
