Argument from evil, restated
RE: Argument from evil, restated
(May 26, 2013 at 7:49 pm)Origen Wrote: In death our path is set toward god, or away from god. We enter a place without time, and a reality which places us beyond the pain and suffering of this world. We are not toys in the kingdom of god because those who go toward god freely choose the good, just as those who walk away from god will freely choose evil. You begin your path in this life, you continue it in the next. Eventually Christians hope in the resurrection, and the fulfilment of the earth's destiny where there will no longer be pain and suffering. You will then have your perfect world. Be aware that not all deist believe this, but they all live in the knowledge that the human spirit continues beyond death. You're argument is so simplistic and sententious, if you're going to be a good atheist at least read Nietzsche, he posits some interesting arguments against the belief in god.

You, yourself, described a world without pain and suffering as one which lacked freedom. It logically follows that Heaven is a nightmare of robotic slavery. Whether you chose to go is irrelevant, because choosing not to go is the ultimate crime. When you are in heaven, will you be able to sin? Will you have the choice to sin and the capacity to carry it out? Or, have you chosen to spend an eternity as just a toy in a diorama? I'm just trying to clarify a statement you made, because I don't think you considered the implications very well.

btw: Deism does not require any belief in spirits.
