PP, I'm the poster writing about how God didn't make worshipful robots. I'm very logical myself - advanced degree from top 3 university, work in research, dozens of published papers. I do get the need for logic and how difficult cognitive dissonance can be. I read several theology books a year, and I'm always studying. I can't say that I've satisfied my every question. But, contrary to our atheist friend's contention, I find the gospels to be pretty logical (perhaps the Roman environment had something to do with this). It's not what goes in your mouth but what comes out... loving your neighbor is easy, so try to love your enemies in this interconnected 21st century world of ours.... and so on.[/quote]

So what makes you think the choice God had was to give us free will or make us "Worshipful robots?"  I never heard that anywhere, but I doubt I've read as many theology books as you have.

But from what I've seen, God seems to have made some people pretty clueless -- sort of too dumb to use free will or to be a worshipful robot.
