Yeah, GC, that's exactly what I said.
Why do you always automatically leap to the absurdity of the opposite extreme?Read again: I said that, in the scenario you presented, your god gave his toy humans the free will to make a choice, even though they had no conception of what that choice would entail, then had a shit fit when they did precisely that. Now you're saying that exercising the free will to make the choice at all is doing a bad thing, if the choice made is not what this silly god thing wanted them to make. Your interpretation of free will in this context is the equivalent of my holding a gun to your head and ordering you to make a free choice, then shooting you for doing it wrong. What a scam.
What you do in your country is your own affair.
