People don’t doom themselves, me old china. God does it for them.

1. While the Bible never explicitly tells us, the ability to reject God is at the very least just a natural product of our intellect.

Free will requires the capability to reason and process information in complex ways, as does all the beauty we produce; the arts and sciences.




2. As mentioned a few posts ago, this is a misunderstanding of Christian doctrine - God is not "damning" us anymore than a judge "damns" a criminal to prison; while it's not an entirely wrong word to use it seems to almost entirely fundamentally miss the mechanic at action and place some blame of the judge and not the criminal.

Good thing gods original plan was to keep us away from knowledge of good and evil. 

Why didn’t god give A&E the free will to not be a person factory involving massive pedophelia  and incest?
