A god that's all-knowing and gave us free will? That's a logical contradiction that cannot exist.
I used to think that too, it does seem really contradicting.
The thing is that God does know everything, so he knows what decisions we will make, but he doesn't 'program' it into us so we're like robots (hopefully that makes sense!) So, he knows every single path that we can make with our decisions, and he also knows what decision we will make - it is really confusing.
Are you apart of a religious belief?
Yes
What religious group do you belong to?
The Catholic Church
Are there any strict restriction that don't allow you to do something?
Yes, I'm not allowed to do things, but I've been taught that having rules can set you free (somehow) :)
Are there any strict restrictions on what you can and cannot eat?
Not usually. Just in Lent (the 40 days before Easter) I'm not allowed to eat meat every Friday.
How long have you been in this religion?
My whole life.
Have you ever thought of leaving your current religious belief for a different religion?
I used to think about leaving to go into a different Christian church or something ('the grass is always greener on the other hill' type of mindset) but in the past few years I've decided that this is where I want to be and this is where I'm staying.
How many times a week do you have to go to church(or a place of worship)?
Once a week - on Saturday night or Sunday.
How many times a week do you have to pray?
I am supposed to pray constantly, and I am trying to - it just can be hard. I try to pray once a day, before I go to sleep.
Have people ever judged you soley because of your religious belief and not getting to know you?
Thankfully, no, I don't think so, not yet :)
