Is there "free will" in Christianity?



Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man-living in the sky-who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time... But He loves you! ~ George Carlin

Great Video? Simple precise logic.

Christians say that God wanted people to worship in free will and not like the angels. If the angels did not have free will, then how were they able to "rebel against god?" Would not free will have to exist for the angels? That negates the whole argument from Christians.
So it would seam that angels really did have free will.

Also, how could anyone love a god, or anybody, that forced you to love them by such a choice as hell or my way? There could not be any real true love in a situation like that. Just acting out of fear.

Maybe that is why so many christians really dont follow it themselves, they just go through the motions in hope that they will escape this hell.

I agree with you Mike.

I've said for a very long time that I think it's pathetic that an all knowing and loving God has to use scare tactics, like burning in hell for eternity and other forms of manipulation just to win the loyality of others.

Sounds like God has a major insecurity problem. He must be really bored, and that is why he wants so much attention from others.

Just imagine this statement from God himself:

GOD: Follow me or you will burn in hell! I'm God! I have lots of power and I will use it against you if you don't follow me! You hear me? I am God! I do love you in all honesty, however if you don't follow me, you will burn in hell. You need to follow me, because I am God! Do you people understand me? I can destroy you people!

If that's the best God can do to get others to follow him, then he is truly pathetic.

It also shows that he is limited in power. Plus the christian trolls who post on here who supposedly represent "God" are a prime example of how pathetic God really is since he can't seem to do no better than choose a bunch of weak minded fools to represent him.

Dear Believer

by Dan Barker Dear Believer, — You asked me to consider Christianity as the answer for my life. I have done that. I consider it untrue, repugnant, and harmful. You expect me to believe Jesus was born of a virgin impregnated by a ghost? Do you believe all the crazy tales of ancient religions? Julius Caesar was reportedly born of a virgin; Roman historian Seutonius said Augustus bodily rose to heaven when he died; and Buddha was supposedly born speaking. You don’t believe all that, do you? Why do you expect me to swallow the fables of Christianity? I find it incredible that you ask me to believe that the earth was created in six literal days; women come from a man’s rib; a snake, a donkey, and a burning bush spoke human language; the entire world was flooded, covering the mountains to drown evil; all animal species, millions of them, rode on one boat; language variations stem from the tower of Babel; Moses had a magic wand; the Nile turned to blood; a stick turned into a snake; witches, ...

NO TRUE CHRISTIANS!

There is no doubt in my mind that there is not one true Christian on the planet, and I can prove it. There are several signs of a true believer that are very plain in the Bible. Unlike many of the passages of the Bible, these particular verses are very plain and nearly impossible to misinterpret or take out of context. Let's consider these statements supposedly written by the Apostle John, otherwise known as the disciple whom Jesus loved, as he quoted his master and his God: 1) John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 2) John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 3) John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. This seems pretty plain to me. If you love the Lord, you keep his commandments. Simple! John the Apostle emph...

Not ready to be nice

(Available as a ) Why are you so angry? It doesn’t make sense to be angry about God, since you don’t believe there is a God. You people are like talking to robots that only repeat their programming. I feel so sad for you. You haven’t truly experienced Jesus or you would never say the things you say. I accept that you don’t believe, but why be disrespectful of someone else’s religion? I don’t get it, why would you need encouragement in your ex-Christianity? Various Christians regularly post these kinds of questions and quips to http://ExChristian.Net . Since http://ExChristian.Net first went live, Christians of all denominational affiliations have posted remarks accusing ex-Christians of being bitter, unwilling to listen, not open to discussion, angry at God, angry at church, angry at Christians, or just plain angry. This emotional feeling about Christianity, say these Christians, is probably a sign that ex-Christians really know that Christianity is true. These Christians c...

Jesus...f*** you

By Ian Hi Jesus. Jet me start out by saying F*** you. Yeah, that's right. F*** you. F*** you uncle f***er. What the f***? you ask. Allow me to explain. After careful consideration and a lot of thinking, I have come to the conclusion that you, as presented in the Bible and your followers, are a f***er. How so? Let's see. If people don't believe in you, you damn them to hell. Real nice and merciful. If you damn people to hell for not believing in you and thus harming your ego, then f*** you. If you damn people to hell for following Christianity, then f*** you. If you're going to damn ME for being a freethinker and a humanist, then you're a really psychotic son of God. Want to change your image Jesus? How about starting off by getting rid of all your spokespersons. Why not start with Billy Graham? He's a big motherf***er. I mean come on, wrinkly as a prune, thinks Satan is out to ruin the world, threatens us with hell if we don't believe, runs ...
