Yeh. He'll cast you into a pit of fire and torture you for eternity, but, you know, fine.
You're god provides people with all the "choice" that a mugger with a gun gives his victims. Hell, maybe I'll try it; I'll hold someone up and gunpoint, and then at the trial, I'll say, "But he had a choice; he could have let me shoot him." See how well it goes over.
(Also, "I'm not trying to force my beliefs on you, but if you have a problem with Christianity, keep it to yourself?" Throwing a hissy fit every time someone questions your beliefs is[ trying to force them onto people.)
Originally posted by Mr BrightsideWanting something is a human emotion. A god would be above petty human emotions. And yes, a want can be a need.....Like I need to be wanted by my little creatures who I've created to bow down to me and kiss my feet cause I did them such a huge favor by creating them and if they don't bow down, cause that is my "want or need".......I'll throw them in hell for eternity, that'll show em.
A want isn't a need.Need: Probably essential (Along the line of food etc)
Want: What A person desires(Love, respect etc)
