Again this mirrors what God has done for us. In this life we have the ablity to go our own way or return home to the Father.

Quote:Incidentally, it's been four pages now and while I welcome and enjoy the discussions we've been having, the only theistic opinion on my original question made no attempt to connect the violation of free will with the divine revelation that supposedly converts a person to the religion relevant to that person's societal upbringing. I'm starting to wonder why.
Because your rebuttles/questions have wandered from the OP and the response I directed towards it. It's your thread, and your questions. Would you have me hijack it from you to stay on topic?
