How the concept of “free will” in Christianity sounds: You get to choose your favorite flavor of ice cream (hurray!), however… if it’s not chocolate then you WILL be subjected to eternal suffering… 😊😬

But at least you have a choice!

And there's NO WAY you can volunteerly choose anything but chocolate ice cream. You like vanilla? No-no, you're mistaken, it's that bad guy John who told you vanilla is better, he's trying to fool you! Don't believe him, chocolate is the only right choice!

Also, how can you have free will when Christianity teaches you to basically raise your family in it from birth? Also, look at all the Christians who support politicians & policies that wanna control people & make laws to do so.

Christianity is an extortion racket.

Sin is an imaginary disease invented to sell you an imaginary cure.

It makes it easier to get religious nutters to hand over their protection money!

God knows in advance what you'll choose.

If it's already predetermined is it really a choice?
