He plans abortions, he plans rape, he plans murderer, he plans poverty, he plans suffering, he planned the Holocaust, he planned 9/11, and all of that. If he planned everything, then that means that we are all brainwashed, and that we are doing what he wants us to do and that we have not free will. What do you all think about this so-called God's "perfect" plan.Well, we actually don't have acausal free will.
One of the problems with christianity is that it asserts that free will exists and makes us independent of god. A grand cop out scheme that fails to explain the flaming contradiction between two types of messages:
1) free will is preconfigured by god and handed over to humans
2) free will is independent from god and defines our individual essence
