Is there actually "free will" without evil?
why not? you can choose to eat a banana or an apple, both perfectly non evil
I will die on a hill that says a banana is more good than an apple.
Making the apple relatively more evil on the scale from good to evil.
Others may prefer an apple. But I guess that is their free will to choose so 😉
I mean there was that whole 'garden of eden' thing with the apples...
Wasn't the forbidden fruit in the garden of eden originally a fig or date or olive or something? It was changed to apple in the later translations. Something like that .
I thought it was a pomegranate
I'm allergic to bananas. But I'm pretty wicked so this tracks.
The free will is more about choosing to follow god or not. So if everything god does is good and everything they want you to do is good, you have no choice but to do those things. So you live in a perfect world but are a puppet.
An all-powerful god wouldn't be affected by such logic. They could have changed the rules to allow for free will without evil.
This question doesn't make any sense.
The question is, in a purely mechanical universe of strict causality can free will exist?
God and evil are fictional.
You have proof there is no God?
That's not how proof works at all. Proof shows that something exists, what would proof of nonexistence look like?
You cannot prove that anything doesn't exist, only things that exist have proof.
If I tell you there is a large purple dragon in my closet and then ask if you have any proof that I don't, you can see the idiocy of such a statement. Your god is just another purple dragon. A figment. I don't need proof that it doesn't exist (as that's nonsense) the extraordinary claim of a magical all powerful yet invisible and undetectable being NEEDS PROOF.
Any one single shred of proof is sufficient to show that something exists.
You are not a serious person.
By your logic, I could say there is no gravity, just an infinite number of invisible angles pushing things down.
Lol no.
You cannot use "my logic" to do any such thing
That's absolute bollocks.
You can say any nonsense you want but don't attribute it to "my logic" as you have not shown this in any form at all.
Not a single serious thought anywhere in your entire mind? It's quite sad.
You asserted that there was no God.
You're unable to prove your claim.
Now you're resorting to an ad hominem attack.
You have a right to say you don't believe in God, but no way to prove it.
And here's a list of ad hominem attacks, so you can improve your logic.
Six hours later: resorts to ad hominem attacks when he can't defend his argument. The hypocrisy is off the scales!
Are you following all my posts now?
Maybe you should go outside and touch the grass instead.
You haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about.
There is no evidence of anything like this "god" proposition.
You assert a proposition then THE ONUS IS ON YOU FOR PROOF.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I NEVER CLAIMED THERE IS NO GOD. I CLEARLY STATED THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR ANY SUCH THING.
What ad hominem?
You're full of shit.
A lot of capital letters and some dirty words. I'll let your own reply speak for itself.
Good day.
Yeah, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about or even have a grasp on the core concepts involved.
Good day indeed.
