Not if she is wielding a knife.

Don't rule out the possibility that God could be using your wife to chasten you.

You just implied that in order to teach dumb old apathist a lesson your god would violate a woman's free will.

Even then. A family is a team, the trick is getting on the same page. Knives and guns are just tools.

Nope, God could use her free will to teach old apathist a lesson as well. 😛

There is no such thing as absolute freedom. You can't choose your parents, when you were born and how you would behave (to some degree) in certain circumstances due to factors outside of your control.

True. It's like things are natural and not god-caused.

My worst fear is the complete collapse of democracy in my country.
Already, the theocratic crowd, is insinuating that a self-fulfilling Armageddon is preferable to freedom for ALL. I fear for my son and his future.

Where are you, George Washington?

You know america is a republic and not a democracy, right?

Democracy is kinda stupid. Why should a thousand idiots outweigh a few geniuses.

So how would they be if they were in fact God caused?

Because people who think they’re geniuses are idiots in reality. I can think of two examples just in this forum alone.

Blaming God for everything wrong in the world?

Ok I get that you would rather be a robot devoid of free will. It's God's fault that people use their free will to murder, rape and steal?
