One of the many reasons I wouldn't bow down to god even if it was real

You might believe that now but, wait till you die, your story will change.

So god doesn't care what people want, only what he wants.

His ultimate will reigns, and yes He cares what you want or He would not have given you a choice.

And now, GC's lost any right he might have had to ever use a free will argument again. Rolleyes

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.

If your child disobeyed you would you throw him into a fire and watch him burn? Would you then proceed to do the same to his offspring?

btw, God forced the pharaoh to sin against him. He hardened his heart so that he wouldn't let his people go and then proceeded to kill every first born son in Egypt.

I did. The scripture supported their teachings. It seems to be you who are going against God's word.

You have the following choices, which do you choose?

A.) Kill yourself
B.) Cut off your hand
C.) Ask why your only options are A and B

That isn't what I was referring to. How much "good" is sufficient to get one into heaven? If we are to speak of the fairness of eternal reward and punishment, then we would need to understand that everyone gets one or the other, no? The person who barely does enough to escape hell gets the same eternal reward as the most virtuous person who ever lived. The person who falls just short of heaven gets the same eternal punishment as the most vile and despicable person who ever lived. Does either scenario strike you as fair?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

The bag boy gives me a choice of paper or plastic, but is just as irrelevant.

God is completely ignoring my will not to participate in his afterlife scheme.
If I kidnap a woman and give her a choice of being raped vaginally or anally have I truly considered her free will? Is it ok because I gave her a choice?

Do you need Allah or Thor to threaten you to be good? If you need a fictional poofdaddy to threaten you that is childish morality. Adult morality is doing the right thing even when no one is watching to punish you.

It must be really great to get so much smug satisfaction out of this threat. You'll be able to watch us all suffer from your nice comfy cloud, and won't we be sorry then!

Great film, killer song, but criminally misleading title.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
