There are different passages where Yahweh says that he knows everything. There are actually less passages where he speaks of free will in the bible.

That's pretty much what I was saying. For a peaceful religion, it's history is written in blood.

Well, I was going to say that as well. Christians have also "converted" other people at sword or gun point, or by using the threat of death or physical torture. I can't think of many atheists who have resorted to these tactics.

Alright though, here's the problem - the bible also says that god is omniscient, meaning he knows everything. If that is the case, then when he first created the world, he knew every single thing that would happen before any of it happened. Therefore, he knows what each and every one of his...

Humans created a world full of grief, anger and sorrow, not god.

See, that's the real problem. It doesn't matter whether you particularly agree with it or not, God is here to stay. At least for the foreseeable future, as much as I truly hate to make predictions. Perhaps there is a good reason that man created the idea of God, or perhaps a good reason that...

Yes, I'm sure the key factor to the ultimate fate of this universe is based on how exciting it will be right before it all goes black.

None. I work best solo.

You're just making excuses now. It's called denial. I understand. He just so happens to decide his profile needs updating at the exact same time that someone is flaming said profile? Looks like cause and effect to these eyes. Believe what you want. I'm impartial for the most part, and I...

That's classic. Why don't you seek him out then and try explaining this too him? Oh, me personally, I'm not looking forward to the end of the world, but I guess at that point I get to retire. In an abyss or some such thing, according to prophecy. Seems about par for the course though.

I think he was trying to be funny, and play the whole thing off as a joke. The guy is only 17 years old, it's understandable that he can act immaturely at times. Look at these things in context - the lover thing was obviously a joke, the Shinra guy blew it out of proportion to make it seem...

I think the first Final Fantasy is the best one. The music is the best, for certain.

I'm far from stupid, but I'll forgive you your proverbial trespasses for now. Their HEAD admin, the owner, doesn't seem to bear any kind of malice against FFF. He doesn't even seem that actively involved in the site. Some of the others admins do, but when he does appear, he pretty much posts...

I of all people obviously can distinguish between what exists in the mind and what exists in reality. I myself am only an idea that exists in minds when you get right down to it. However, an idea that exists in the mind becomes moreso when people choose to place their beliefs in it, and it...

He wasn't raiding it, he was posting topics like "Bitch about FFF here." He didn't announce that he was Darkblade initially. He told their head administrator that he was in fact Bone on AIM, the chat was logged and posted by their admin, who seems to have difficulty keeping his other admins...

God's existence cannot be proven or disproven, that's the whole point. How else can he test the faithful, right? He does continue to exist within the mind, I am pleased you have grasped my meaning. In response to your comment on infinity, I would recommend a book. It's called Infinity and...

Well, in response to your argument then: Science may find no evidence of god or a creation, but that does not mean that one did no occur. If science concludes that a creation could not have happened, and a god can not exist, then it does so only within its own parameters. This is one of the...

Some of these things are beyond your control, and more specifically, beyond the realm of choice, which is what free will is really all about. Do human beings actually have a choice in anything, or are both free will and choice just grandiose illusions?

It's probably necessary that you specify this when you state your opinions on free will, as reconciling the concept of free will with the concept of omniscience is where the proverbial strings come in.

Do you believe in an omniscient god, such as the one in the teachings of Christianity?
