free will paradox

Esq. Bullshit. We've discussed this reasonably before. I'm not about to play it out again with you acting the goof. Lie to yourself all you like. Don't expect me to entertain that.

Hey, you wanna call bullshit, by all means. Just, you know, make sure you're doing it on the right person. I can't be blamed for the bullshit the followers of your religion pull.

If you're insistent on keeping the focus on me, then you'll need to explain why there are thousands of denominations of your church that, despite following the same holy book, all have different interpretations of it. You'll have to explain to me why you yourself have a different interpretation when compared to other christians on this board. I know you've given your reasoning with regards to Luckie's family, but isn't that just another example of what I'm talking about?

I've met catholics, protestants, baptists, and a bunch of other shades of christianity. Funny thing, they were all convinced that theirs was the correct interpretation of the bible. None of them secretly confided in me that Frodo had the correct reading of the good book, and that they were following the wrong one out of spite.

To call what I said bullshit would be to ignore large swathes of reality. Then again, this is not entirely unusual, for a theist...
