anti-choice determinist 6

anti-choice determinist
Free will is of course impossible no matter whether christianity is true or not. However, since christians promote free will, I am having fun talking about how omnipotence and omniscience make free will sound even crazier than it does to an atheist. Either god is in control or he is not. If God is not in control, who is? It certainly isn't us since we don't choose free from causality. If god is in control of all that happens, then no doubt god is the most successful murderer and rapist. The problem of evil as an argument against the existence(or at least the benevolence) of this god is the strongest cause for people deconverting from christianity.

Chess is one of the most predictable deterministic games there is. Strict rules force players to move in certain ways. Some people are naturally better at playing chess because they have a better capacity to guess what their opponent might do. This is almost like mind reading, but is actually an understanding of the rules and what someone "should" do if they are trying to win. I enjoy playing chess but at the same time I am not really competitive. I think people benefit from learning how to play chess. It is fun and also a way of understanding how other people think.

Free will is a harmful belief and this is the reason for convincing others that it is false. In this episode, I read some parts from the beginning of the first book I published. The main point of this episode is that none of the things written in the book are original thoughts at all. My mind was a strange combination of christian teachings that were conflicting with the way sex, dating, and marriage were viewed by american society.
