[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two quick points.

First, any talk of heaven is pretty theoretically because none of us have been there and human language would fail to describe it anyways. So to say that free will exists in heaven is true but not what people are interpreting here. For one, we will see God and everything with perfect clarity. Two, heaven it outside of time, so up to anyone's imagination what that means in terms of free will.

Second, the overarching theme I am reading for the atheist camp is that if we can't explain everything about God, then he is not worth believing. This is a foundational question. If you ascribe to it, then stop debating religion and visiting religion forums because you will never get it and will never have faith. But I hope stated bluntly, some of you can see how absurd the stance is. We will never fully get it here. I guess for some that will be a permanent stumbling block. But again, the alternative is to believe in nothing, just randomness. If you find solace in that, great. If not, rethink your need to fit God into your small brains (not an insult, we all have small brains!)[/quote]

Not believing in the Christian God does not mean you’re an atheist. Not everything is about Christians. There are other spiritual beliefs that don’t involve Adam and Eve or heaven. Or even just believing that we just can’t know until we die.

But Christians don’t get dibs on deciding what God is. I can think religion itself is man made and flawed, and still discuss beliefs about the universe that do not align with there being some creator who is ascribing deeper meaning to cancer.[/quote]
