Free Will Argument PWND
Christians are always jibber jabbering about how God gave us free will. It seems that free will in the Christian excuse for everything. Why is there suffering in the world? Free will! Why does God send non-believers to Hell? Free will! Original sin? Free will! You get the idea.
Sure there is no evidence for free will and yes, science has figured out that our decision making is based on a combination of nature and nurture behaviorism, but that is all beside the point. Even if we gave Christians their free will concept, it still has a huge fucking problem.
Introducing the fair and just concept of “informed choice.” If I’m a used car dealer and show you two seemingly identical cars, but one is $3000 cheaper only an idiot would choose the more expensive one. But that choice would not be an informed choose since as soon as you get the cheaper car off the lot it literally falls apart on you. In America, we have disclosure laws which make it illegal for companies to fail to disclose certain things. So what does this have to do with free will?
Well, Christians run around the planet telling everyone who will listen (and even some who won’t) that God will torture people for all eternity is they don’t believe and yet they still have the free will not to believe. The problem is that according to these Christians, God expects people to make an uninformed choice. We don’t know what these Christians say is true or not. These Christians could just be used car dealers trying to sell off a lemon of a religion. We remain uninformed by God.
If God wants us to choose between Heaven or Hell, he has to make it an informed choice otherwise it ain’t free will. If God is all-powerful, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to beam the truth of his existence into the minds of every human being. Then we would be able to make an informed choice (for the record, I would still choose to reject the Biblical God as my Lord and Savior).
Unfortunately God has not beamed said information into the brains of every human on the planet. Many people like me don’t believe in God and many more believe in a different God. Those that do believe in the Biblical God don’t even agree on what that God is like despite the completely well written and clear Holy Book he allegedly wrote (sarcasm).
We are left with a few possibilities. 1. God is an asshole. 2. God is not all-powerful. 3. God is incompetent. 4. God doesn’t exist.
