>>1486087Right. Free will cannot exist if there is an omnipotent creator, because it created you knowing everything you would do, and it created all of the circumstances you were born into. If it wanted you to behave differently, it could have created a different version of you that would behave differently, or different circumstances that would cause you to act differently. It didn't, it created this you and this reality knowing everything that would happen in advance; meaning no one has any agency in the christian world view.
Do you think I'm christian? I'm not, I read the bible. I like to use it against people who obviously haven't. I agree with everything you're saying, the god of the bible would be an unreasonable tyrant if it weren't so obviously ficticious.
That isn't the point though. My point was when someone said:
>The core of Jesus’s message was to rebuke religious hypocrisy, such as so-called Christians who gleefully persecute CatholicsThat's absolute bullshit, a suggestion at best, the actual core of his message is that he claims to be the son of the one true God, and if you don't believe him and love him above all else he will torture you forever.
