In another thread, it was said "...claim that making himself known to all would somehow abrogate our free will." In context, this seemed to reference god not making himself known to humanity.
If this assumption is correct, it seems there's a thought 'out there' that people say if god makes itself known to humanity, that this would negate or nullify free will.
For those that believe this, please explain how this would, it seems, nullify or negate or eliminate or abrogate free will?
If this isn't true (god making itself know would negate free will), what, then, does it mean to you?
Knowing and free will

Re: Knowing and free will
Post #11It's oddly suggestive of Hinduism, with a Creator (Brahma) equivalent to an intelligent Cosmos, and Gods are a super alien race, worshipped in different guises or being different gods. I can think of a couple of Sci fi shows that they already used ideas like that.
"What does God want with a starship?"
"To blast the heck out of an enemy starship. What else?"
