@ Cinjin and Min, you guys are hopeless.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

As long as anyone is on the opposite side of you and your fucking invisible sky-daddy they can't go too far wrong.

No, hope doesn't abandon someone who knows their future is unwritten and that their actions are their own. Theres always the promise of change dictated by decisions that define the essence of who they are.
Hope abandons someone who relinquishes their free will to another, imaginary or otherwise. Their story is already written, their actions not their own. You are a slave, restrained by mind forged shackles. No more defined by your actions than any other puppet would be. There can be no hope for you as long as this is the case.

An atheist who believes in freewill, well, as for my hope it's with the Creator of the universe, I am a slave, not by a shackled mind, by a mind and heart set free through the love of my God.

Yes I have a shepherd, who daily gives me love and hope, He is the Creator of the universe. I also rebel from time to time, yet He forgives my debt and we walk together.

Same thing. Read the Bible, that work of fiction you consider holy. God doesn't set people free pal, he kills them if they don't chain themselves to him. Thats the lesson you're meant to follow and its the lesson you have followed like a good little slave.
Only reason you don't see that is because you're too indoctrinated to know any better.

You know how many billions and billions of people throughout time have said that about their god? Does that tell you nothing?? How do you not see this? What makes all those billions of people wrong and you right??

The arrogance and blindness is just so mind bending it cannot even be charted.
