@emlynaddison Most Christians, and Catholic doctrine, believe in free will working in concert with grace.
.@Pres_Bartlet The God construct becomes irrelevant if His Will can be superseded by ours. Christianity does not own human morality.

@emlynaddison That shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the tenants of Christianity.

.
@Pres_Bartlet The tenets of Christianity subordinate reality to inventions of mythical-supernatural prerogative. So: Which God is real? -
@emlynaddison The problem, so far as I see it, is that people of faith and people of science view themselves in opposition.

@Pres_Bartlet Science does not concern itself with matters of faith. Faith can (apparently) tolerate science, but not the other way around.

@emlynaddison I should say Catholicism. I cannot speak for Christianity as a whole here. The Catholic Church, however, makes it clear...

@Pres_Bartlet Understood, but there are 3,000+ human-created Gods; some of us have noticed a problem with that. -
@emlynaddison I think the problem is with religion, not with faith.

@Pres_Bartlet There's the rub, sir: We may not have invented the emotion of faith, but we certainly invented the institution of religion.

@emlynaddison ...God gave man free will, "so that he might of his own accord seek his Creator."
