I really can't stand it when someone trys (repeaedly) to shove there belifes on me. I have a friend, and as friends go he can at times be there when I really need him. But then there are times when he can get me to the point that I just want to reach through the phone and kill him I am very open about my eligion, Don't get me wrong I don't push it on anyone. But if asked I am all for giving my veiws on it. He however, has decided to make it his mission in life to convert me to save my soul. He by the way is Christian. He calls me up last night to inform me that he knows why things have been going down hill in my life on a number of areas. It is becouse I am going against Gods will. The way he sees it I am not doing what His god wants me to do. So therefor I am being punished. Punished, he says becouse god gave us free will and when we don't do what he wants then we pay for it. Will In my opinion, this is not free will. How can one call it free will to do what one is told. If we have free will to do as we will then shouldn't that be total free will? Shouldn't we be allowed to go out and use our judgement and free will to do what brings us peace in our life so long as we harm none? Shouldn't we be allowed to make and learn from our mistakes and not have to worry about being punished?
