Christianity
The belief that there is a loving entity out there that supposedly created our planet and us. This belief is complete nonsense. Because of a [paradox]. The [paradox] and it's explanation are below.
Omniscience vs. Human Free will. A [Paradox].
Omniscience: Perfect knowledge of past and [future] events.
Free will: Freedom to choose between alternatives without external coercion.
Paradox: Statements or events that have contradictory and inconsistent properties.
Proposal:
Christianity cannot claim that [God] is omniscient and also claim that humans have free will. The claims form a paradox, a falsehood.
Reasoning:
If [God] is omniscient then even before we are born [God] will have complete knowledge of every decision we are going to make.
Any apparent choice we make regarding the acceptance or denial of Jesus as a savior is predetermined. This must be true to satisfy the assertion that [God] is omniscient. Effectively we have no choice in the matter. What we think is free will is an illusion. Our choices have been coerced since we exist and act according to the will of [God].
Alternatively if human free will is valid, meaning that the outcome of our decisions is not pre-determined or coerced, then [God] cannot be omniscient, since he would not know in advance our decisions.
Continuation in the example
Question:
If God knows the decision of every individual, before they are born, regarding the acceptance or denial of Jesus as a savior, then why does he create one set of individuals destined for heaven and another set destined for eternal damnation? This seems unjust, perverse and particularly evil.
Conclusions:
If [God] is omniscient then humans do not have free will (see argument above) and the apparent arbitrary choice of [God] to condemn many individuals to eternal damnation is evil. I.e. [God] does not possess the property of omni benevolence and is therefore not worth our attention.
If humans have true free will then [God] cannot be omniscient (see argument above). If he is not omniscient then he also cannot be omnipotent since [knowledge] of the future is a prerequisite for total action. Without these abilities [God] can no longer be deemed a [god] – i.e. [God] does not exist.
If humans do not have free will then the choice of whether to choose Jesus as a savior or not makes total nonsense of Christianity since the choice is pre-determined and we are merely puppets at the hands of an evil [monster].
This definition is too long for this mug.
