In this episode of Sacred Tension, my sister Elizabeth Schultz returns for a spirited debate about free will, the existence of God, and the foundations of morality. I am skeptical of the concept of free will, miracles, and God, while my sister defends them.

I love hearing back from my audience. Did you agree with us in this conversation? Disagree? Let us know in the comments below. If your comment is excellent, I might feature it in an upcoming post.

Even the bible says no free will. Both jesus and paul are written claiming that this god has already chosen who it will allow to accept it and then damns the rest for no fault of their own, Matthew 13 and Romans 9 amongst other places.
as for morality…Christian morality is demonstrably subjective, with each inventing a list of morals they claim their god wants, and yet the poor dears can’t show that their god merely exists, much less agrees with them. They also have the problem that they must insist that their god doesn’t have to follow these supposedly “objective” morals since they have to invent excuses why it is okay for this god to commit genocide, to kill people for the actions of others, etc. This makes their morality subjective to who someone is. it also shows their morality is little more than might equals right.
what’s even more fun is reminding a christian that their god never gave humans morality. IT wanted them amoral and ignorant. Eve got morality for humans, per the myth.
