To the extent that being able to ask someone a question implies they exist, I guess the next most important question is "Why do you exist?"

"to learn how to figure out who you can and cannot coexist with"

it's Plato's Allegory of the Cave

Why are His “chosen” people so ugly?

that's subjective

"chosen" is an abstract concept which, when applied concretely to specific people, varies from philosopher to philosopher

I could (arbitrarily obviously, it's all arbitrary) choose to define "chosen" as "self-described pro-life," for example

Why did he make women so irrational and difficult to communicate with?

Are you sure He did that? I think jews are behind that.

probably because they've had an abortion, that's my guess

your generalization isn't always accurate in the reality I perceive

Is it possible to have free will and still never have the temptation to sin?

[–]effrem[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

excellent question

as known intentional sin drops to zero (and it will with time & effort) the new sin one has to confront I call "almost sin"

so to answer your question, no, no way, absolutely 100% not, you'll always have the "oh boy I could have screwed the pooch on that one glad I didn't, boy was I tempted to sin, I'm so glad I chose to use my free will to not manifest the sinful thought into our shared reality, phew"

Please can you activate smiting permissions for this body?

I have a long list of people who need smiting and no means to actually smite them.

You seek vengeance, do you?

Indeed. And I am running out of time to get them all.
