I'm not confused by the concept of free will. I believe in life everyone has complete free will to do whatever they like - there is no man in the sky directing anything from a magic playbook script, nor is there such a thing as fate. There are no contradictions.
What I don't however understand is how Christians get around the crazy-ass (to me anyway) contradictions their world view introduces. Therefore I am posting my view and hopefully get some interesting thoughts posted in return which is the whole point of this forum, n'est-ce pas?
BTW. it's not simple at all. Let me turn the question around for you - being an ex Catholic - why does the concept of Christian "Free Will" not confuse you?
