Christianity invented free will. Think about all the cultures that deny it, beginning with Islam.
And by the way, Fred Reed anticipated the article by several years...

I love his idea that we should be charging the rest of the world rent for using the benefits of our culture.
Classical pagan culture certainly believed in free will, it was the ultimate do as you want as long as you salute the emperor as a god.
I’m sorry to say I really don’t like you Chad. Maybe I’m being unfair but for a relative newbie trying to fit in your pride gives you away. Maybe someday you will understand and even learn to become a critical thinker but for now you are quick with an answer, unfortunately the WRONG answer.
God, not Christianity, gave us free will. It’s right there in the 3rd chapter of Genesis which you may have read (and likely discarded kinda like Elon Musk, too smart for their own good).
So if you want to be a critical thinker you’ll need to start by disproving the Bible. Archaeology would be a good place to start. Or Dr. Walt Brown, he’s no Heinlein, but maybe you could disprove his hydroplate theory on creationscience.com. More science that any can shake a stick at in Part 1. Part 2 describes the hydroplate theory, and part 3 is Q & A.
I hope someday I can learn to like you Chad but so far you are like so many freepers whose own pride has tied their own showstrings.
Good day sir!
Better question: What would the world be like without the British Empire?
