If I have free will then can I choose not to play God's silly game?

Answer 1

Only if "free will" is defined as someone holding a gun to your head and telling you that you have the free will to obey their demands or have your brains blown out.

On the other hand there is no god so I don't worry about god's silly games.

Answer 2

It's not a "silly game", but it is a "race" of endurance and a "fight" of the faith.

Hebrew 12: 1 "So, then, because we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also put off every weight and the sin the easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."

1 Tim 6: 12 " Fight the fine fight of the faith, get a firm hold on the everlasting life for which you were called and you offered the fine public declaration in from of many witnesses."

Yes, it is your choice to be part of this race and to put up a fight tell the end. The good thing about this "game" is that you can join in at anytime and still become a "winner".

Matt: 10: 22 "...he that endures to the end will be saved."

Won't you come out and play???

Answer 3

We were born with free will. We were also born spiritual beings. Attitudes have a lot to do with how we look upon the world and the experiences that we have. You can project negativity by saying that anything unfortunate which happens is a result of "God's silly game," or you can take responsibility and use your free will to take a little more control of your life. You can attract the circumstances you seek with your free will. We do this by being conscious of how we react to circumstances which may arise. Take everything in slow motion and notice how you are feeling when confronted with an unpleasant situation. You can change how you react, and therefor evolve into a better, stronger human being/spiritual being. No matter how we look at it, we are spiritual beings in human form.

Answer 4

Well, technically-to a religious mind-you can, but to a rational thinker, if, under God's game, you play, it is not free will but rather, conditional consequence. If you disregard the dogma, you burn-so to speak, if you play the game like a good pawn, you are rewarded. The inherent mechanism of condition that is in this game negates the definition of free will.

True free will should have no consequence other than the raw laws of nature and existence. Even those are not conditional but rather just physical limitations of our being.

Answer 5

Hey! I like Twister.
Sure you can choose not to play it, but I like getting together with some friends and seeing who's the most flexible, the silliness makes it fun.

Oh... you were making a thinly veiled referenced to life, I thought you meant twister, that's a silly game definitely inspired by a higher power too, no way mankind could find something that fun.
:p

Answer 6

Well, you do have free will. Life is not really "God's silly game." It is a decision. One way or the other you make yours. If it were a game, everyone is playing, you are just losing.

Answer 7

Not really a game. It is life. If by this question you mean can you choose not to believe in God.... Than yes, you have the free will to do so. You also have the free will to go to Hell. Do not pass go do not collect $200

Answer 8

God only wants those that are faithful to Him. There are plenty of people that want to play God's game and don't think it is at all silly. Those are the people that will inherit the kingdom of God.

Answer 9

Well yeah, but its not God's game that you have to play, its the man made control system called religion. God only had two rules, Love Me and Love each other. The rest of this whole humanization of God's world is BS and I guess, blasphemy.

Answer 10

Surely not ^^

For illustration that we're living in an online game. God was the Game Master, while we are the character in the game. and it's obvious that character in the game can't just quit from the game....but in the game u can have your own free will, but each of your decision will have it's impact for others also ^^...
