Stalin no doubt thought what he was doing was in his best interests. The question of how you condemn his conduct, without reference to religion, stands.

Quantum theory introduces an element of randomness, which is hardly free will.

Point taken on an omnipotent God, which is why I have a problem with the Lutheran church I grew up in. I'll likely go Roman Catholic (if I can shake this agnosticism) solely because of the free will issue.

As I implied, and have said I don't have the answer. If I did have the answer I would be rich :) We however do need to focus our attention on how to answer those type questions outside the context of religion.


Randomness is as close to free will as we may be able to get in this universe. I can live with that.
