Free-Will ,does it really make sense ?
How can there be Free Will if God has already decided in advance who gets hell and who gets heaven with no regard for actual conduct throughout their life time ,That is ,God knows what you are going to do before you do it.
Consider the following cartoon for insight,Futurama,"Godfellas" where Blender encounters God ,
Blenders;So do you know I am going to do something before I do it ?
God Entity; Yes.
Blender;what if I do something else ?
God Entity; Then I don't know that .
Well,this is very interesting.If future is already known,then it can't be changed,correct ? So why does God get angry about events when he already knows what is going to happen ? How are we free to determine or define our own destiny if the future is already known?
Religion tells us ,man is free to make deliberate decisions and that those actions are his responsibility.The interesting thing is
•God created man as fallible (Capable of making mistakes).
•God punishes man for being fallible .
•That we are free to choose.
•That we cannot exercise that choice except under threat of punishment ,Is that really freedom ? Isn't freedom at all .
Well ,some people argue that our freedom of choice isn't freedom of consequences ,our choice is its own punishment.
Get back to fallibility ,tendency to make mistakes or be wrong ,if we are unable to understand the basis of our contract with God ,how can punishment be just ?
Does God bear no responsibility for creating fallible or imperfect creatures ?
Does it make any sense that a perfect God created imperfect beings and wants imperfect beings to understand or consider another entity as perfect ? Not to change that ,I mean ,how can our imperfect selves even begin to define something as perfect ? Yet ,the perfect entity (God) punishes imperfect beings created by him for exercising imperfect choices that they make when they choose a path which is contrary to his inscrutable-will,what do you think ?
Brought scriptures through his imperfect beings in which we contradict ourselves finding its meanings and yet ,no one to tell us the truth,no one to tell us who is in true conclusion or false conclusion ,everyone pretends to know the truth,and when we die,we will be punished for the choices we have made on earth.
The question is ,how do we determine our imperfect mind is not misleading us ? Consider the following picture which proves that The Brain Can't Be Trusted.
What do you see ? It is an art,right ? How many eyes do you see? They are two ,right ? How many mouths ? It is just one ,right ? Do you really see that ? Put your mind right.
"Mind Right "
The Only Way To Know The Truth Is By Checking It Yourself.
"Yourself "
The Truth Is To Find What We Were Put On Earth To Do,And In Searching Of Our Purpose On Earth,We Should Never Believe Everything That Comes To Us,We Must Question The Reality Of Its Truth .
—Free-Will,Is It Myth Or Truth?
