Fate and Free will
#1
Fate and Free will
A conversation(translated ofc Tongue) between me and mom, and i'm playing the guy who just doesn't get it and doesn't have a solid opinion about anything so that she won't suspect anything Smile

Me : Why did god create us if he knew what we're gonna do ?
Mom : Well, fate is already decided and you chose what you're gonna do and thats why its written in that book ?
Me : so, I wrote my own fate by doing it in the future ?
Mom : Yes.
Me : so, but still in the end god knows what i'm gonna do .
Mom : Well, most people say that god gives 2 fates for you to choose from, the good one and the bad one.
Me : so god knows which one i'm gonna do ?
Mom : No.
Me : isn't god supposed to know everything ?
Mom : Well, he knows both of the things that you may do.
Me : But, but he doesn't know which one i'm gonna choose, based on what you said .
Mom : What are you trying to say ?
Me : Nothing, i'm just asking. Angel
Mom : well, stop asking .

The point of the discussion is that a god knowing our fate conflicts logically with the free will; A god not knowing our fate conflicts with that god knowing everything; A god not knowing everything conflicts with him being a god in the first place.

Little about me : I like having some theological discussions with my mother more that with my father, because my father doesn't use logic in any of the discussions, he is very very religious, so he uses the Quran only to speak .
