Nope.

Free will misuse cause train wrecks.

You still chumming with your questions, apparently.


What I do with my questions is not your concern.

As for 'free will' - people act according to the cards that are dealt, mental makeup, character, etc, in relation to the conditions they find themselves in.

Nobody chooses their own strengths and weaknesses or the circumstances of their birth....perhaps a child in the slums of Mumbai, born an untouchable and remaining uneducated with little or no opportunity to advance.

The world is more complicated than what faith would have us believe.

The reason I am not a Christian is because Christians have forsaken the words of their founder.

Jesus said, "Wherever two or more of you are gathered in my name..." is my church. nPeriod. that's it. No other requirements!

Instead of that, "Christians" insist on litmus tests like, is the wine actually blood or does it represent blood, how many sacraments are there, Did Jesus rise in spirit or in the body, etc.?

Not to mention that you have to believe in scientific absurdities like talking snakes, the whole Book of Genesis mythology, beasts with 10 heads and only seven horns (odd!), etc.

For centuries, these disputes got one burned at the stake or otherwise tortured to death by Christians.

You have to be cockamamie to be a Christian. I prefer to follow the teahings of the religion instead.


Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
