One could write a computer program with the same thoughts as a person experiencing joy, suffering, and self-awareness.
Quote:This is your religion, not mine. I agree that logically speaking, god's alleged power combined with his alleged omniscience would render free will logically impossible.
You don't agree, as I don't hold that myself. I'm just running the argument out to the end and showing that it self destructs.

Atheists want to have their cake and eat it too. That's exactly what they do when they argue that there's no free will, yet we're somehow autonomous beings with rights. Makes no sense.
I'm not saying there is no such thing as free will, Alpha. I'm saying that within in the context of your religious narrative; it's not logically possible, even though your god tells you otherwise.
