God's Flaw - Determinism

Free will is nothing more than an illusion and wishful thinking. Nothing that exists has true control over itself!

Life is nothing more than a logical, linear, predictable, machine. The belief that I have determination over the person I am and the person I will become is fraudulent.

Freewill cannot exist. This is the flaw in God's plan.

Proof of God would undermine free will




One apologetic argument for the lack of clear evidence for God is that such proof would undermine humans' free will: such evidence would leave us no choice but to believe in God, and his glory and magnificence is such that we would have no choice but to worship him. Thus, God chooses to remain hidden in order that we should come to believe in and worship him freely.


Counter-apologetics

This is not a deductive argument, of the form "this is what we know about God, therefore we should expect to see such-and-such effects." Rather, it is an ad hoc excuse for the lack of solid evidence for the existence of God. A person making this argument presupposes that God exists but concedes that there is no good evidence for his existence; this argument is one way to reconcile the two.

This argument is not specific to the Christian God; it applies to any deity who values faith over reason.


Differences among theists

This argument is also at odds with the behavior of many theists, who seek out evidence for God. If an omnipotent, omniscient god truly wanted to remain hidden, then there should be no miracles, no relics (such as the Shroud of Turin), no miraculous apparitions; intercessory prayer should not work. Yet such evidence is sought by many.


Counterarguments within Christianity

In the Bible, many people were given sufficient evidence for God's existence, including Abraham, Moses (who spoke personally with God), Jesus' apostles and followers, who witnessed miracles first-hand. Therefore either:

1.The argument that God cannot reveal himself without removing free will is flawed.


2.God took away some people's free will, but not others'.


3.The Bible is in error.
 
 
According to Christian tradition, Satan was originally an angel who rebelled against God. It is reasonable to assume that Satan knew that God exists, since they were coworkers. And yet Satan rebelled, and chose not to worship God. Thus, knowledge of God's existence does not compel worship.
 
Similarly, Judas Iscariot had ample evidence of Jesus' divinity, and still betrayed him.
