Originally posted by Vladamir no1You're narrowing down free will to its libertarian definition.
Christianity conceptualised Freewill, to bestow humanity with guilt and to prey upon that guilt.
We have no freewill, when people realise this will they finally lay to one side this archaic worldview that we call Christianity?

Originally posted by Vladamir no1Apparently what you call Christianity and what God calls it are two diametrically-opposed concepts. Hmm, I wonder how that one will turn out?

Originally posted by HalitoseIndeed. He insinuates that guilt was created by Christianity. In reality, however, we know guilt to be part of the human condition no matter the exposure to religious preferences. He does not consider the possibility that Christianity merely comes to terms with it.

Originally posted by Vladamir no1You can't be serious. There are some who expereince no guilt. I believe the term is psycopath. Everyone has an innate sense of right and wrong. Psycopath's, however, seem to have a disorder in which this inner voice is diminished or nonexistent.

Originally posted by Vladamir no1Are you seriously trying to say that no one knew about guilt or conceived they had free will before Christianity. I know of a stance Atheist who is a hard determinist but even he accepts that the experience of free will and guilt is universal.

Originally posted by knightmeisterGuilt existed before christianity, but guilt is not intrinsic as it is a social fabrication. And freewill was not considered before the advent of christianity, as people belived in fate which is predetermined............
