Philsiophically, I disagree with bible god. Like giving a loaded gun to a toddler - I'd never give free will to someone I know was incapable of using it safely and responsibly... Eternally damaging themselves and/or others in the process. We don't put people in the captain seat of airplanes that can't fly... But for some reason, we've unexplicably determined that giving free will to someone who will just fuck themselves over with it, is good.
It disagree completely.
It's just not loving or responsible at all.... Philisophically speaking, of course.
So, if it's God you're looking for. You may want to reconsider... He's not very kind.
Your beliefs are a product of a myriad of variables... Will, or desire to believe a certain thing is one of the smaller contributors.
Like I said, you still have a lot of growing to do if you think beliefs are simply a product of will or desire.
It's another reason why bible God isn't kind... This is an elementary concept and it even seems to evade "all-knowing" him.
We're products... All of us... We're products of circumstance and experiences that influence our thinking and beliefs. We all believe things we don't want to... Because we have to. Reality does that to us.
Why does this matter? As a non-believer, I guess I don't see the need to know.
And if a person subscribes to the idea that we can frame our beliefs how we'd like to.
Well, they still have a lot more living and growing to do.
