Any logic which leads to the conclusion that the content of your posts was pre determined by an inevitable chain of events which began with the big bang is clearly flawed. Believe in your soul which determines your free will and defines what you are!

First you have to prove that souls actually exists.
Secondly: "Believe in your soul which determines your free will and defines what you are!" Do you really not see the contradiction in that? If your free will and definition of being are defined by someone else, you don't have free will to begin with, you dolt!
Third, as an existentialist, I take offense to the notion that any deity (or the soul created by that deity) or any third party defines who you are. WE define what we are. Our own actions and choices define who we are. Nobody or nothing else.

Why? Isn't the whole "cosmological argument" for the existence of God based on the assumption that there must be a continuous chain of one thing causing another and that therefore there must have been a "first cause" (God)?
Let T = Moment of Big Bang
Let T(1), T(2), T(3) ... = set of all chronons since the Big Bang.
Set of all chronons = positive infinity (infinitely large).
Let X = causal influence on subsequent events.
Value X is inversely proportional to the distance of T(a) to T(b).
Ergo, influence exerted by the Big Bang on the present cause and effect (my post) approaches (but does not equal) zero* relative to the more immediate causal relationship of my response to your nonsense.
Please clearly state the flaw that you observe in the above logic. Apologies for not using mathematical symbols. If you don't understand calculus and limits, you don't have the math.
* it approaches negative infinity (infinitely small)
@Kid Cthulhu:
Finally, we have succeeded in injecting the truth into the brains of landwhales! For a century we tried, but we only got some bigot from New England, some English hippies and Japan... well, we most certainly will not talk about those defamations.
Well, at least he believes in free will. Certainly beats frelling Calvinists.
Dude, you don't need convoluted logic to define yourself. Just believe in the me that believes in you!

Show your work. What makes the logic flawe?. What step is the mistake?
It LOOKS like you just don’t want it to be true. That’s not a logical objection.
"Believe in your soul which determines your free will and defines what you are!”
What sort of test could you conduct to prove that the soul is not deterministic? Maybe it does exist, but may it’s also driven by events that stretch back into prehistory?
How could you tell?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
