If one is religious, then the unborn are not innocent.

They are part of their god's plan, and when aborted, that is according to plan as well.

If they go un-aborted, given that they were "given life" by an omniscient and omnipotent creator, that creator had already predetermined at the time they "gave them life" exactly how their entire life would go, down to the smallest minutia. As such, they are not "innocent". You just personally don't know what atrocities they will commit in the future. But if you're religious then you have to believe that they are already predetermined to create them.

Kill the fetuses. Kill the prisoners. Hell, kill the prisoners using dead fetuses.... or vice versa.


Predestination is not part of all religions; Judaism, and most mainstream Christian denominations do not believe in it. While, yes, it is agreeable that God is omnicient and has the ability to forsee every possible outcome free will makes that determination random therefore God knows the most likely outcomes but surprises can still occur. There is nothing predestined or determined already for us in this life; circumstances can unpredictability change as well as choices.

Even the standard goes according to Biblical Law that even the hand of God cannot interfere with the vote of a council. Say the vote was between red or green shoes. If God came down and demanded that all elders wear green shoes and the council voted for red shoes then the red shoe ruling stands due to our free will.

As for unborn children, we cannot say rightly what happens to them or where their soul goes. The Church for centuries asserted that their souls remain in a state of limbo being niether alive or dead, just stuck in a vaccum more or less until their appointed day to stand before the Lord during the final Judgement.

That's simply false. You are drawing arbitrary borders around the concepts of "omnipotent" and "omniscient".

If your god knows every possible outcome of a choice, they ALSO know which choice you will make. That's omniscience. You cannot say they know the outcome of every choice (that's knowledge of every possible future) without also acknowledging they will know which choice you will make. If they don't know which choice you will make with your "free will" then they cannot know what the outcomes will be of your choices, because the outcomes will be dependent on other people's choices.

It is logically incompatible to state a god will know the outcome of a choice without also acknowledging that they also know what you will choose.

With that in mind, you have eliminated free will. There may be the illusion of free will, but your god knows every choice you will make from birth to death. They must know this, because some of your choices will be in reaction to other people's "free will", which the god knows the outcome to.

With no free will, every person is born with the full complement of their sins already known. They are not innocent. They were born to be exactly who they will become, sins and all. Innocence is an illusion.

As for what your god chooses to do with unborn kids, that's your religion's choice. I have little care for what they believe occurs. Since the god is both omniscient and omnipotent, they were designed to be killed from the beginning. The god knew what choices the parents would make when the god first created the great great great (etc) grandparents of the dead unborn.

Knowing a conclusion does not imply lack of free will. It does imply precognition. You are saying if JJ'S God exists my future is predetermined and it is never my choice. That logic just doesn't fly.

You forget the other parts, the combination of omnipotence, and creation.

If you have precognition of every future choice made by every person for thousands of generations forward.... and you create the first one.... your every choice was predetermined by the select set of circumstances generated "6,000" years ago (going by christian timeframe).

Depending on how one views the actions of their god in the religion... (whether they started everything and left, or whether they are choosing each unique soul for every infant) the control may even be more direct.

Got it, kind of dense on my part. You're saying if JJ'S God exists Trump has done nothing wrong because he had no free will in the matter. Wouldn't this also mean that Trump is a better person than you? I think Trump believes in the same God JJ does, if so based on what you are saying they both need to understand they have no free will so there is no good or bad for them. You on the other hand have free will based on your lack of belief, so you can do good or bad. Unless of course you want to say you have never done bad.

You believe? You do well to believe but...
The demon's believe - and tremble. it won't help a bit.
Belief in the sense spoken of here is next to nothing.
It's Passover folks a celebration feast reminder - the perfect lamb was slain for our sake to save us from wrath and deliver us from slavery to sin.
Definitely not random but at least it's not the Calvinism vs armenianism debate. :-O
