This posts confronts me with the limitis of my English. :oI suck at the English language. I was born, then raised evangelical. Hah. But it's true that a lot of my identity from when I was young was attributed to faith...it's tough to shake.
Actually, it's more likely that an innate tendency to religious belief in humans is the result of evolution: Evolutionary psychology of religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIs it more likely that all people are born atheists and as knowledge increase they become theists? This would mean that adult atheists are slow learners.
Ah, I love this tactic! Whenever someone claims to have been a Christian but lost their faith, you guys put on your defenses. "Ah, you must not have been a real Christian! A real Christian wouldn't leave the faith!" Are you that insecure about your beliefs that you have to belittle me like that? You make a huge, sweeping judgment about me and my life? Do you know the circumstances that led me to be an atheist? I find it funny that you know nothing about me but claim to know everything about me.
You can't be this stupid...
1. If God knows I'm going to pick a COKE, do I have a choice?
No.
2. If God doesn't know what I'm going to pick, do I have a choice?
Yes.
Happy now?

Another example of someone with an invisible friend.
I think it's the sanctimonious preaching tone that gets up people's noses. But then again I may be wrong.I apologize if I came across as belittling you, that was not my intention. I did say assume though, in other words guessing. God is clear in His Word about many falling away, just read the parable of the sower. It does sound however that your the one on the defensive though. For you are the one with the conundrum, not I. I do struggle with the thought that if one is baptized in the Spirit that he could fall away. But then we battle not agianst flesh and blood.
Here's the deal.Logic is the language of the human mind - and I thought we were made in God's image. So what's the deal?
Here's the deal.
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness" - Gen 1:26.
Does God have free will? Yes, He does. Then it is logical to conclude that everyone made in the image and likeness of God will also have free will just as God does.
He isn't. Maybe it is you that is illogical. God's logic is not your logic:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. - Isa 55:8.
Then logically explain how God enabled a virgin to conceive and a dead man to rise.
When Adam ate the fruit was he making a logical decision?
Do you know the circumstances that led you to be a Christian?Whenever someone claims to have been a Christian but lost their faith, you guys put on your defenses. "Ah, you must not have been a real Christian!...Do you know the circumstances that led me to be an atheist?
You're right, God didn't create us in His image and likeness.
You are scaring me.For all we know, all of our decisions are predetermined by the electrical signals of our brains. Maybe we are robots. We will never really know.
Its a short question. Not a simple one.It's a simple YES or NO question, MoonLancer -- it's not an essay question.
What if I know what I'm going to pick? then what?
sorry but this line popped into my head when i read this.It's an opinion.
