Limited Good Choices

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

> Nicholas wrote - You presume that perfect temporal choices are limited. There is no evidence for that (that is eating an apple or a pear can both be seen as Good at a given time). You also lose sight of the fact that a Christian God exists outside of time and that he can allow free choice since it happens "instantaneously" from his perspective..

Nicholas,

Friendly (albeit unrequested) advice. The best way to get people to 
respond to you is to quote what they said and put your response after.
