September 11, 2014, we talked about freewill and Good Omens. I enjoy this topic very much. Unlike every discussion, this topic challenge my mind a lot. I describe this topic as a paradox. I like paradoxes.
We discussed about freewill, but later on, it turned out that we are talking about God.
Does God plan everything? If he planned everything, then we don't have freewill because everything lies on that great plan. Does that mean only god has freewill? I find it unfair that only the superior has the freewill. The reason why I don't believe in God is because whenever I ask a question about religion, it does not give me solid answer.
Does God control evil? Is the evil also part of his great plan? Based from the book Good Omens, the destroyer is sent by the devil. However, it is also stated there that the apocalypse is part of the divine plan. Does God have the control to the devil? Then which side is God actually?
In Good Omens, the apocalypse is not happening because of Adam's freewill. Does being a human or having the freewill overcome the power of God and His plan? Or is it because it is written on the plan of the God?
Even I didn't give any answers to them. Haha. But try to think about it.
I wonder why do people believe on that matter. Why do people believe in something that can't be explained. Maybe I am just too skeptic or blind to see. Either of the two, I enjoy these mysteries.
Here are some paradoxes in sentences:
1.Nobody goes to that restaurant; it's too crowded.
2.Don't go near the water 'til you have learned how to swim.
3.The man who wrote such a stupid sentence can not write at all.
4.If you get this message, call me, and if you don't get it, don't call.
5.ADVERTISEMENT: Are you an analphabet? Write a letter and we will send you free of charge instructions how to undo it.
