What is wrong with FW?

What is wrong with FW?
Why atheists hate to hear that?

God or not God FREE WILL still affect our lives in the good or the bad so why atheists dislike to hear about it so much? Huh

RE: What is wrong with FW?
Usually when a theist brings up free will, it's an attempt to excuse their god for not solving problems that are out of our control. Why didn't he stop the rapist from raping? Free will. Ignoring the fact that he apparently values the rapist's free will over the victim's free will.

Plus there are stories in the bible where god specifically ignores free will, like Moses and the Pharaoh. Or Jonah. Or anyone else who doesn't kowtow to his demands.

Whether or not we actually have free will, which is apparently a debatable concept, it doesn't help from a theistic perspective.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Here once again we go back to the old religious way to deal with the issue which of course has nil to do with the reality. Shake Fist

Why you guys keep on thinking that all theists believe in religions? Banghead

I keep forgetting there are some people who go off the wall, saying they worship a god without following the book or church's teachings. This must be how new cults are formed, except some people aren't able to get a following to start one.

I'll say most normal theists, then. I don't have an explanation for your type.

His type can be readily explained if he actually bangs what passes for his head against the wall every time he posts a emoticon of head banging against the wall.

Lil Rick calling me a fool is a compliment. It'll be when he thinks I'm brilliant that I'm worried!

There has always been a problem with those who look externally rather than internally where God reside so a multitude of dogmas are created.

However the old saying.............when the student is ready, the teacher will appear............is the correct one and any sincere person will not fall in the religious trap and therefore get the real McCoy of life.  Lightbulb

You are brilliant Aro.

Few more reincarnations and finally you will be able to get there.

That will not be long but at the end we all will end up in the same beautiful place.

Oh, by the way why you want to delay?  Huh
