Why Secular Morality is Superior

[Fidel_Castronaut]

So Ryan. God knows the future so you, who do not, don't have free will? Please explain to me how to you, your choice is limited. Please explain to me how you are not a free agent to act as your will dictates.

Once more with the unsupported claims. Wow I had no idea the extent of the hypocrisy of you guys.

It's a paradox.

It's exactly the same as, say, rational choice theory that postulates a choice that maximises utility. It's an illusion of choice becuase if there truely was a 'rational' choice that resulted in maximizing utility above other choices, one would chose that every time thus making the other choices redundant (or illusionary).

You've heard this a million times before no doubt, but it's an irresolvable paradox regardless of what branch of thought one choses to try and get around it. "All roads lead to heaven" except the bad ones that are laid out before you and are made that way precisely so you can end up there.

And whilst technically choosing the 'wrong' path is still a choice one supposedly makes, it's again illusionary becuase, using your own reasoning, the cards are stacked against you before you're even born. If your destination is already pre-decided (because "god knows the future") then it makes the entire process redundant. You may as well not exist at all in any other form than what/where you are at the arbitrary conclusion point of the process. If the choices one makes ultimately lead to a pre-ordained destination, then in what way are they really choices at all?

Just my 2 cents.
