The free will argument demonstrates that christians don't understand free will.
#14
RE: The free will argument demonstrates that christians don't understand free will.
A couple of problems with the OP. "Free will" is a term of art and the OP doesn't seem to narrow in on how it uses the term. Second, given a god that knows all things possible to know and able to do anything fully conceivable, could such a god create an ideal world. I don't know. No one knows so any argument that takes that premise as given is not sound.

As for me the issue centers around whether relationships based on mutual love, including both brotherly love and love between a creator and its creation, have meaning if they follow inexorably from the presumably random initial conditions of the universe.
