It’s basically just the rich get richer and the poor get poorer

Have good upbringing, brain wiring, circumstances, past experiences and born into a Christian culture - righteous holy man/woman of God

Have bad upbringing, brain wiring, circumstances, past experiences and born into a different culture - evil wicked sinner who deserves to be tortured in fire forever

And as long as they have the excuse that you “could’ve done otherwise” then it doesn’t matter your circumstances you can still be blamed or praised fully.

Talk about unfair and ridiculous. I’ve brought this up to Christian friends they seriously can’t comprehend if they were born into a different culture and circumstances they wouldn’t be a Christian, it’s almost embarrassing. This is the fruit of free will tho, to use the Bible own language

  • You know what is free will? That's your freedom of belief granted by law. No one can have a say. you have the right to quit christianity, you may create a belief system that suits you the best.

    Even if you have left christianity, you still have the right to return (Not what I personally would do)

    So, give yourself the freedom of belief, and let no one take away from you.

  • As someone who grew up in a predestination-emphatic Calvinist sect, I have to say I think the idea of free will isn't so bad. It's toxic because it's a nice face on an ugly thing, but the alternative is Christians who just unapologetically believe ugly things, like infants going to eternal hell.
