Is freedom so important that it is worth the loss of order?

Question

Wouldn't it be a better place if God (if he exists) had not given man free will?

Answer 1

What would be the point without free will? Then everything would exist just to do a dance to the precise and unchanging order of God, and nothing could be changed or created independently of God. It's just like a parent and a child relationship - if the child is never allowed to leave the parent, then what would be the point of having a kid?

Answer 2

There is a theory that there is no free will. Everything we think, do and say are programed into us by our nature and the environment we had created around us. Our parents do what they did without choice as do we. I answer this question because I have to, and I have to type what I am typing. It appears random, but is just in fact programing. You asked this question because you had to. Here is the ultimate point. If G-d created Adam and Eve, and told them not to eat of the tree of life, he had to know that they would. Why put the tree there if not to get them to eat from it? That set in motion the chain of events. This does not mean there is not random numbers tossed in. Example. People build under a volcano, they die. Then, a few generations later, the soil is great there, so they build again. They made choices. That got them there. And so it goes.

Answer 3

If "no God," randomness, supervenience, and determinism do not in the slightest guarantee "less chaos." Rather, animals without individuated soulfields, with human intelligence, humanism's grown up germs, would likely be more vicious without the somewhat slight but positive overall tendency which Godly morality-religion has given man.

On the side of Reality, God's individing as spirit-spark creation--homoeomery--imbued same with the ability to make Godly choice. Mankind, a kind of man--fallen man--rather sophomorically elected, in the face of wise counsel to the contrary--portrayed in concise form in the Bible as "eschew the tree of relative good and evil"--a relativistic type of "free will" which dabbles in relative good and evil.

In this sense, God removed the "Tree of Life" or the Ascension in the Light vibrancy from the direct access of the Soul-individuating ones who, fallen in vibration, had densified into "soulfields," entangled in Plotinius' energy-veiling or e-veiling, eviling.

Conflation of "freedom" (to choose) as both Godly and relative good and evil is one error in your premise. A second error is the positing that "no ability to make choice" is a better model than God's type of spirit-spark individuation process, by which right development, said lifestreams become doers of Goodness without turning or variance.

Kindly note "The Path of Christ or Antichrist," Mark Prophet, and "The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil," O. M. Aivanhov, and "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton, for modern insight into the process.

Answer 4

1. There is no god.
2. There is no free will (due to determinism).

You don't need to fight for freedom as the USA does. It is just part of the propaganda that the people in charge use to make the people support them.

Answer 5

No god exists. Freedom is relative. What I consider freedom is not what you would. That's why we shouldn't try to make others "free". They might think they already are and they might be right.

Answer 6

There is no dichotomy between freedom and order. Freedom is a political concept pertaining only to freedom from compulsion. It is by enforcing justice that this is achieved.

Answer 7

Another definition of free will is " choice " . We make choices every second of every waking minute of every day of our lives . To deny a person of free will is nothing short of brain death . I kinda like life not as a vegetable
