On the topic of free will...
What is it, exactly? To live or to die. To kill or be killed. Are these ever really choices? One could argue that yes, the option remains... yet, to choose death over life... what circumstances would lead someone to willingly die when they could instead live? It was a choice that man apparently could not make, and for it he shall always be remembered...
Or will he?
Friends, to say that whatever god you have alluded yourself into believing gives you any 'free will' is a unfortunate slight. If we had any sense of free will- why none on our creation? Did, using the Judea god as an example, He simply think that, since he was omnipresent, He was justified in making us? If that is so, wouldn't it be better if He led us? If not, then why weren't we first consulted about this? Surely He could make up a nice spirit friend and talk about the pros and cons..
It's a shame that we cannot give ourself one right- that what we have is unique, and free will is our doing. We alone gave ourselves this ability- to attribute it to an unseen deity is denying, through all our faults, some of our good things...
The first step to knowing everything is admitting that you know nothing.
