That's because he allowed him into his heart by believing and having faith in him.

So free will is needed to believe in him when the argument suits you and it's not needed when it doesn't? How convenient.

Huh? My dad had the free will and choose to believe in him, that's why God started speaking to him.

So, let me ask you: do you think there's ever going to be a point where that excuse stops working, no matter how much faith you have?

If you can never prove it wrong, how can it possibly be an honest excuse? Thinking

I dunno, this whole religious realm is very frusturating because there's no straight answers, there's always an answer in another realm they turn to when their current argument has been lost. It is so mind-boggling, every religion states these un-falsifiable statements but obviously they can't all be right.

Does your dad still have the free will not to believe?

If he wishes to.

Here's the thing: you don't really have any reason to believe that these other realms exist, do you? These excuses the religious are giving you are literally relying on a fantasy realm in order to function.

Then the idea that god appearing to people violates free will is complete nonsense.

Thank you for debunking yourself.

They did have quite a few centuries to refine the whole apologetics.... not to mention that your parent's religion is not the first kid on the block, so there were some millenia perfecting that concept prior to christianity.

Which is why so many of us realized what a crock it is and left it behind.
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould
