Do commandments and threats negate free will?

[clancy]

If you choose not to choose you have still made a choice and exercised your free will.

It is that simple. There is nothing complicated about free will other than what people want to add to it.

Of course. Science doesn't have the knowledge to prove God's existence so it isn't a scientific responsibility.

This is true but the dumber a person is the more evidence required to prove it to them.

Some people have to cloud the facts to be able to deal with reality. No need to complicate free will.

Actually, evidence either proves a claim or not. A person's intelligence is not relevant. However a smart person is quicker to determine if the evidence proves the claim.

Actually an intelligent person can look at evidence and draw a conclusion. A dumbass has to be spoon fed things like the theory of evolution. So, yah, intelligence has alot to do with it.

If predestination is real then the whole game is rigged and pointless. I don't like being pointless so I reject predestination.

So do I with all supernatural foolishness.

There is no gun to your head. You are trying to play victim here. You are the one with the gun to your own head. It is your choice whether or not the trigger is pulled and it isn't the gun's fault many people make such a dumb decision.

Christians tell me that we choose hell.

No need for me to comment on such foolishness.

Romans 1:21 Because that,when they knew God,they glorified him not as God,neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,and their foolish heart was darkened.

That is right. The two verses before that one apply as well.

Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,being understood by the things that are made,even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
