Pretty screwed up world that God has created, eh? No, because they have free will evil people can create the screwed up part. Would you prefer to become a direct puppet of God unable to choose to go against what he says is right? Tim

If it is true and total free will it includes the free will to commit murders and atrocities. Also it is free will to make your own decisions, not to have those decisions be useful. If I fell from a great height I might decide I want to slow down and land softly unless I have a parachute I can't implement that decision, but I still would have free will. Similarly before they died Stalin's, Mao's, Hitler's and Pol Pot's victims could think what they want and decide what they want but making a decision doesn't give you the power to implement it. Pretty screwed up world that God has created, eh? Z, were you hoping for a god with a PG rating? Kind of like a big brother or maybe big father. ted
