Sorry, wrong topic, i reposted this under "PHILOSOPHY"


Okay, you all know the the idea of the problem of evil, and the Christian's response to it- free will. But i was reading one of the essays on this website:

<a href="http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/niclas_berggren/theodicy.html" target="_blank">http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/niclas_berggren/theodicy.html</a>

under: 3.3 Mackie's argument

And the idea is that Why couldn't god create a world where we all have free will, and freely only choose good? After all (and this is where i may be mistaken and would love some comments regarding this) what is heaven? Isn't that a place where everone still has free will, and FREELY chooses good? If I believed in heaven but there was no free will there, i certainly wouldn't want to go.

thanks
