re: #58 Mich-again

I can not think of a concept that flies in the face of Christianity more than predestination. The notion that everything that happens happened because God willed it that way is closer to satanism than anything that Jesus taught.

Free will and predestination are polar opposites. If there is predestination there is no zero purpose for religion at all. Welcome to the topsy turvy world of the Religious Right.

I don’t believe in predestination either, and the order Saint Ignatius of Loyola founded runs the high school I attended. But let me ask:

How do you square Free Will and God’s Will as concepts?
