DancesWithBats Jester the Nightmare Good point there, but the fact is that when one being controls both sides of a deal he made for people to choose from and made it look like we are to blame ourselves for the choices when he could have made it easier to choose him, then its a scam. It wouldn't be free will if there wasn't any choice. I agree. If there is a god, he only wants the people who are capable of making the right choice even when the wrong options are available.
The thing I don't get, though, is why he has to put us through this "test" in the first place. If he's omniscient, he knows everything that will happen, so why make us go through this life of suffering if he could simply take the good ones to his heaven?
Oh, wait, he loves all of us, so he wants to give us all a chance, even the potentially hell-bound ones, who he would be sad to see punished for eternity. An exercise in futility? (Unless god is not omniscient after all.)
And then... if you're going to punish someone, isn't the whole point to make them learn from their mistakes?? Hell offers no chance of that, not to my knowledge anyway.
