We have individual choices but there is no way in hell you can't tell me that GOD's Bible, according to Christians has anything written in it that will not be fulfilled.
So, when it writes about wars, and sickness and famines and pestilence and earthquakes and such, in essence we are being told.......
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
GOD gave no Plan B.

Then so is iron clad determinism. So choose your illusion. "I will choose a path thats clear, I will choose Free Will."

Baloney. There is always a plan B, and C, D, E, F...... If you want to go all Biblical, when God sent Jonah to Nineveh saying he was going to whack them, they repented and changed. No whackage.
Besides, the" end of days" represents a triumph of good over evil, not senseless death and destruction. Get the Jehovahs out of your brain. "THE END" represents a rebirth, not an end. A seed must die so that a plant is born.
I refuse, REFUSE, to submit to all this fatalistic nonsense.

I know what it means Burns,
but when I read that all these things MUST take place,
I see no Plan B.
Maybe for those before us there was, but Not for those living now.
And there are just too many people that believe that and need that script to live by
they have done everything in their power to live it out.

Same here, that is why I bought out of the religious pool.

The one does not necessarily equal the other. A common mistake. But still, your choice.

Welllllll there's some choice for ya. My way or whackage.
If I were God, I would make sure that everyone knew my will for them. There would be no doubt how I felt about things. No puzzles, no riddles, no contradictions, no mis interpretations, no multiple choice. Especially if life and death were in the wings.
purps,
:If God left so much up to us, why did he give us a book with such a shitty script for us to live and a terrible ending, one that we CANNOT change.
It is my assertion that the God that left so much up to us didn't write any stinkin' book, and especially didn't write the Bible.
beks,
:How are those countries that have nukes and have participated in a huge stand off now doing economically? How many nukes did they really need to achieve said stand off in the first place? How much cash has the military industrial complex sucked up over the last 30 years?
Here are the 20 most poor countries in the world. As you can see they are all stalwart nuclear GIANTS, and it was all those nuclear weapons they collected that really messed them up. Yep. It was them nukes that did them in:

Farkel, I agree, but so many believe.
