From the guy who accused someone of being irrational for not reading their whole rant about them wanting to be a dictator?
There is a huge difference in reading a small post of mine and a virtual encyclopedia of obviously erroneous information written by an ignoramus. I read it for a few minutes, which is much more than it deserved.

And rude, too.
"...Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be so. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Where envying and strife are, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated". James 3: 10-17.
Unsupported assertions according to your...unsupported assertion?
Rude?
Excuse me, but your first post in response to me was a literal mockery, which you followed up with accusing me of dehumanizing people. I'll not be subjected to your moral double standard, thanks.

I believe that we make absolutely make choices. I don't believe they are free. That's a discussion for another thread.
We do make choices, however they're within the confines of what God allows. We cannot exercise our free will at all, because we can't bend the world to our will as God can bend it to His.
You can decide to be a moral, upright citizen, but that doesn't mean you have the will to accomplish it. You will inevitably fail.
