@S.Tony: "You might as well be accusing me of posting nude porn stars here." More like thanking you XD
"I have already been using the italics function" Ahh - I overlooked that.
"What is your point? I am many things besides being an atheist and atheism is FAR from being that important + bla-bla-bla" My point is that you can be a Deist (that's like being an animal), a Christian (that's like being a bird), an Adventist (that's like being an owl), one of the many subdivisions or breakaways ie.Dravidian, Reformed, Conference, Self-supporting/ C.B. etc (that's like being a Boobook owl, a Sooty owl, a Powerful owl etc). DISCLAIMER: I like analogies and similes. Also, the animals I have used are neither significant nor symbolic - they could apply to any other religion or philosophy.
"It's not just that he grant GRANT free will to people...he cannot even HAVE free will himself + bla-bla-bla" No sh!t.
"I never said any such thing. What I said was that No being worthy of worship would want to be worshiped." Ever heard of paraphrasing?
"And just to let all of you know, I am not some yahoo + bla-bla-bla" I connotated that you were a noob for triple posting, although (before you get all defensive) I see now that it provides order to your' replies, similar to a chapter in a book.
ED. "And the question is NOT "If God knows all(the future as well as the past) how can HUMANS have free will?" When the question gets phrased that way then we end up in a mess because it is much simpler than that. God HIMSELF cannot have to free will to create ANYTHING or do ANYTHING if he is omniscient" Tell me, how does being omniscient prevent you from doing or creating things?
Also, Tony, go easy on Krisnox - he's only, what, 14?
ED#2. Scratcher said: "And that proves god exists... at least in peoples' minds." I totally agree. Consider the Mythology/ religions of the ancient people - all of their' gods were reflections of what they deemed desirable or commendable, even if they worshipped them with mild disgust (Baccharus, Kali etc).
Robj said: "I could use hellfire though, but it just takes so dang long to build up enough energy to use it." Better not, Rob - Tony said: "bla-bla-bla + THAT is where theistic religionists run off throwing rocks and threats of Hellfire back at me because there is not way out of that predicament. + bla-bla-bla"
