In prison away from his family and could have been treated badly. Would you fight for a lie that would result in that kind of treatment.

Again, assuming the characters were real, the account historical and factual, and also that you understand the real characters and their motivations, and the politics of the region. Which you don't, because you can't, because no-one alive for the last millennium does.

Or it could all be a crock, a bunch of semi-historical fiction written by unknowns for reasons unknowable about events they never witnessed decades in the past with a political or philosophical agenda that the credulous in later centuries mistake for fact and waste a good deal of their lives trying to rationalise. HE IS BULLSHIT.
I thought we were making an argument from the position it is true, that's the way it started. Then when no argument was forth coming from you it changed to la, la, la not listening, again what I expected.
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.
