what a sad world we live in and will have to live in
indeed
Well if one looks at history, things were crap before BC and things are crap AD, so the coming of Christ has changed nothing as far as the world been sometimes a crappy place
All this is as off topic for a thread as it can get..
But I don't want a God that is like a dictator - I'd rather one that gives people a choice.
Jesus offers choice. That might not make heaven on earth - but at least it's not a dictatorship. Choose however you will... and so can everyone else.
If you don't agree with freewill, there is always ISIS... they don't believe in freewill either. Communists don't like freewill either in case you'd rather an atheist dictatorship than one who claims their version of a god.
Me? I'll keep freewill - take my chances with the nutjobs. A God that doesn't offer choice is no God at all, just a tyrant.
