    Omnipotence vs Free Will

    It renders you incapable of acting otherwise. Is this free will? If so, then you did not previously know with certainty. Maybe you had intent, but not actual knowledge with certainty.

    Omnipotence vs Free Will

    A proposition's truth value is only as real as its referent. If a proposition can be accurately judged as true, then it must have an actual referent to judge truth against. If there is an actual truth value (as opposed to a speculated truth value) about the future, then the future has to exist...

    CNN Fires Editor after Expressing Sadness over Sayyed Fadlullah’s Death

    As Revoltingest and Gene have pointed out, this is not a violation of the US Constitution. Your employer has the right to limit your speech, and you have the right not to work for that employer if you don't like the limits. The first amendment restricts the government only.

    The"Other" message about Gays in the bible.

    When some verses cancel others out, you can't get a coherent message, so you bring your own (as Dopp's post alludes).

    Omnipotence vs Free Will

    That's not actual foreknowledge, though. It's using your past experience to predict, and it was entirely possible for your sons to surprise you. You're talking more about "foreguessing"... Foreknowledge implies that the future cannot possibly deviate from what is already known.

    Omnipotence vs Free Will

    I agree that knowing changes nothing. However, if the future CAN be known, then it must exist already, and that is what compromises free will IMO, not the knowledge itself.

    Omnipotence vs Free Will

    I don't think that foreknowledge causes the future. A condition for foreknowledge to be possible is that the future already exists in some form, which is the only way anyone could know it beforehand. It is that existence that hoses free will. The fact that some being could become aware of it...

    Ethics Overview

    The field of ethics (or moral philosophy) involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior. Philosophers today usually divide ethical theories into three general subject areas: metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics. Metaethics investigates where...

    Proof that God is not omnipotent

    As others have noted, this is not a logically valid query. There are two implied and incompatible states of being expressed in your dilemma: 1. All swords can be broken. 2. A sword exists that cannot be broken. Only one of these can be true at a time within a single reality. A condition...

    Sneaky, underhanded, or smart politics?

    I think the ballot-access rules -- conveniently drawn up by representatives from only the two major parties -- are far too stringent in the first place. Suing to prevent voter choice seems desperate. We have long since passed the point where two parties are sufficient to represent our...

    Some fun in honor of Friday ~ When you met...

    I met my wife when she was taking over my duties as I was leaving for another job. I had some weeks left to get her trained for the position (I'm talking about the job. ;) ). She was a single Mom, and I had always told myself I didn't want the "baggage" that came from marrying into an instant...

    The worth of Animal Life in the eyes of God

    How different the Bible might have turned out if some fruit-eating worm managed to nibble the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge before Adam. Then it would've been all about them, and eons later they would be creating topics about the worth of human life.
