Better reasons to quit Christianity

[Mister Agenda]

Rather than avoiding the argument, I think I'm addressing it, though in a way you did not expect.

Given your posting history, a left-turn on your claim without admitting you were mistaken in your original is exactly what I was expecting.

Use your imagination, Mister! Have a little fun with the wonder of what it must be like to be all-knowing and to know all. It cannot possibly be as dull and unremarkable as even the most creative person can imagine. Can it?

If I do that, will you learn the difference between precognition and prediction?

They're not my examples of how to love.

People love how they love. You can talk about real love like humans experience it, or some other kind if that's what floats your boat.

But yes, I suppose it highly likely that my character is no better than your own.

I wasn't trying to compare our characters. I was pointing out that in nearly all cases where the distinctions are clear (not a moral dilemma, for instance), the character we have deveoloped over the course of our lives determines what choices we make. I don't think it's meaningless to say we have free will, but it's necessarily limited. I'm not really free to suddenly go on a killing spree: considerable changes to my character would be required before that was a real choice. In the Genesis story, Adam and Eve would have had whatever character God made them with.
