Since God created everything, he must also have created the choices I made that made me what I am.
Where is the free will?
So, if you were saying this to me in real life, and then all of a sudden I slapped you in the face, then you can't really hold me responsible for doing that, since you think that God's foreknowledge would imply that I have no free will.
Boru: "If God already knows everything that I'm going to do, and He created me, then where is the free will? Isn't everything I do only God's fault?
Rayaan: "Yes, God knows everything that I'm going to do ... BUT ..."
Boru: "But what?"
Rayaan: *slaps Boru*
Boru: "Why the fuck did you slap me?! I just asked you an honest question!"
Rayaan: "Hey, don't blame me, man. It was already pre-destined by God that I was going to slap you. So, sadly, I had no control over this."
Do you think that's a logical excuse for my action? Would you be happy with that answer? Of course not because deep down, you know that it was my decision and that's why you became angry at me ...
Yet when you yourself do something bad, you expect to be free from getting any blame and punishment simply because of God's foreknowledge of it?
That is a double standard.
