Topic	So what is God's end game?
Dreaming_King 12/19/17 10:26:49 PM #3:	LeningradCowboy posted... If you're referring to the God of the Bible, you make the mistake of assuming he created humans with a free will. Very few passages in the Bible support the notion that man has autonomous free will and can please God of his own accord. Also, if you think heaven is going to consist of people sitting on their butts for eternity then it's no wonder why people find the idea to have very little appeal. If God didn't create humans with free will, how can punishing or rewarding them for their actions be justified? What is the point in creation at all without free will? Is good verses evil the equivalent of a child making two action figures fight for his own amusement? --- Nil- <cite>Dreaming_King posted [p:892538724] in So what is...
