Quote:If we were not given the choices this life affords (including the option to be evil) then we would have simply been created to either spend an eternity with God or to Spend an eternity in Hell. This is the picture of true malevolence. (The souls being created to exist in Hell with no say in the matter) As it is we have been given a choice to be evil or not. No one is forcing us to be evil. It is a choice made in a man's heart apart from the expressed Will of God. Because we have been given a true choice we have to all live with the consequences.
Humpf, that's funny. I don't remember choosing to be evil. I don't remember choosing a sinful life, I don't believe in sin remember? I don't believe in hell remember? I don't believe in god remember? Also I don't do bad things, I don't steal, I don't hurt people. I've chosen a life of peace, productivity and lots of sex. Yet I bet that just because I've rejected a religious claim that some how I deserve to go to hell right?
With god I've noticed, it always seems to come back to that - Either your on my side or your my enemy. He seems a bit of a prat to be honest.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
