Then I reject this godbeast of yours and demand to stand on my two feet, nothing makes me dependand on your slave driver to survive, not me not any other terran. How dare you just do as you are told without question you disgusting animal!
If God created humans with free will, then why does He punish them if they use it? Saying, "You have the free will to believe, but I'll punish you for eternity if you don't believe" is not free will.
There's a song that expresses this disconnect, called "Hand Me Down My Bible." The chorus includes the lines
"Everybody's got the right to go wrong,
in other words, "you can do what you want, as long as you follow my rules."
Prove the existence of the 'Soul' first.
Science can prove the existence of the brain. Also, electrochemical processes.

Human science can't yet define how the soul interacts with our physical brain, but that does not mean that the interaction is not there. have a soul. You don't get to presuppose a vague, invisible component of human biology that is utterly undetectable yet vital. You have to present some kind of evidence first.
I do not presume to make judgements about Heaven until I get there!
No - just free of the unavoidable consequences of material reactions, which allows us the freedom to choose rather than just react.
I do not think you understand how thoughts are initiated, driven and perceived by our spiritual soul. I do not think you understand that you do not get to start an argument from the position that you've already won it and thus needn't provide any evidence to back it.
I do not understand this myself,-
-but it is just the way it is (not just the way it seems!). by making your argument .
God has made Himself known to all mankind in the form of Jesus Christ.

"Human science can't yet define how the soul interacts with our physical brain, but that does not mean that the interaction is not there"
Human science can't define the force but that doesn't mean it's not real.
