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.
I'm sorry, it's just nonsense. I just cannot engage in this type of doublethink. It is cult rhetoric.
You can't hold a belief in an ultimate creator pre-planning an ultimate plan whilst simultaneously also believing we have any kind of free will. If you are saying we are all scripted to go from A but end up at B no matter what, but we are "free" because it is our choice how to get there, it is still not free will is it? Not really.
I didn't say it WAS a cult, I said that was cult rhetoric, i.e. the same line of thinking that cultists have. Doublethink. Believing contrary ideas to fit their pre-conceieved narratives even if it contradicts logic and reality.
Whatever, I'm not wasting any more time on religion.

It's semantic games.
