They say God doesn't prove he exists because that would violate free will. How? How does knowing god is real force us to love him? [Spirituality & Religion]

This appears to be the accepted excuse for why literally billions of humans are not going to receive salvation and it appears totally facile as a justification.

Or he could have only let the ones that would love him be born.

I guess that would be more of a violation?
Although practically speaking, more merciful.
@Pikachu idk. Seems a lot more loving than making people then setting them on fire. And God is supposed to be more loving than humans. So if I can think of something that loving God is supposed to do even better.

Very neat. Makes sense though, doesn't it? Mind altering substances to rile up the faithful?
Not exactly a unique approach to spiritual experiences is it?

I maintain God has proved His existence, we get to accept or reject that proof.
@JoePourMan

If god had proven his existence then by virtue of his omnipotence he could not have failed and everyone would know he exists.
Since everyone does not know he exists, he has not proven it.

Further more, rejection is a willful act which does not accurately describe failing to be convinced by an argument or evidence.

Yahweh doesn't want to force you to love Him. Where'd you get that nonsense from?

@Pikachu [quote]No re-read the question and answer appropriately.[/quote]

I see comprehension is not your cup of tea. It seems to me that you can't comprehend your own question.
@GodSpeed63

*sigh*

Ok.🤦‍♀️
I'm just going to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
It was just an honest miscommunication.

When i ask "How does knowing god is real force us to love him?" i am saying that [i][b]i do not believe[/b][/i] that knowing god [i]forces [/i]us to love him and therefore the excuse that knowing god is real would be a violation of free will is erroneous.

How do you respond to this idea?
