I don't see what choosing to eat or not eat breakfast has to do with whether or not I live under freedom or tyranny, what I do for a living, who I marry and associate with, etc.
We have a tiny amount of free will within certain constraints. But we are still puppets serving some puppetmaster.
"With that being said, I will first draw attention to the most wicked and evil act perpetrated (since the fall of humanity into sin), which is the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross. This is the worst thing to be done by the hands of human beings."
But He planned it? So it's not wicked, is it, because now the people that did this are merely NPC actors following God's script with no autonomy.
You cant have it both ways, You cant say God planned everything but also humans have free will. Those ideas are fundamentally opposed.
God created these people, right? I thought he planned everything? So what they are doing is all part of God's plan???
I dont get this christianty stuff. Its not consistent to me at all.
I agree. Too many Christians pray for specific outcomes. I don't think "God" works that way.
If our lives are supposed to be pre-planned then we are puppets with not much free will.

God can work that way but you must remember this life is all a big test.
The Calvinists are the biggest preachers of God controlling everything. It's more gnostic (new-age) than it is Christianity, imo.
