That only applies to people who believe in Predestination. Nice try.  
 

No.

The very definition of God, including omniscience, implies that s/he will know your entire life. Thus, nothing you do will really be your own decision, since someone already knew what you were going to do.



That's a childish definition of omniscience. If the Christian God knew the future, he never would have made Saul king.

monotheism doesnt instantly mean christianity or that you believe in God. you could always believe in another god there just has to be one

I wasn't attacking the belief in god haha you are misunderstanding, I am very obviously talking about ONE religion in general.


when did i say you were attacking it?

But that is the point really... pointing out the flaws with religion... things that don't really add up.

A religious person would say "God knew... it was part of his plan."

but he knew that he had to make Saul king. we couldnt possibly understand why things happen the way they do, but everything that happens has a purpose in the end

It can't possibly be part of a plan, and yet still be considered free will. That is my only point.

free will doesnt cause evil, it causes chaos. evil is a whole different story entirely. yes, people would tend to turn to evil if given free will, but people arent made good by taking free will away
