Stimbo Wrote:So my question to all that would be: what price free will in all this? If God (or Allah, or Quetzecoatl) appeared in front of you in a manner that took away all doubt of its reality and authenticity, hasn't your free will been taken away?One of the many contradictions in the Bible. You're right, free will has been voided. But hang on.. Why does God do that?! Wasn't the whole 'beauty' of his love that he gave us free will to begin with (which we then used wrongly apparently).
Theists can't have their cake and eat it. Either there is no free will OR their 'encounters' are not genuine and God never 'spoke' to them.
