Cheaper's title opened the door for a religious discussion.
@LM The quote explains it clearly, despite your attempt to rewrite what the author wrote to fit your narrow-minded view.
There is none so blind as he who will not see.

Now let me try to solve for X. Sorry BB, but I have to make it an outrageous sin for the sake of argument. I was thinking of making it "covets his neighbor's riding lawnmower while committing adultry and taking the Lord's name in vain" but those Commandments just doesn't have the punch I need. And they're too long.
"Yet this does not erase our free choices: That God knows BiggestBest
will murder a clown does not imply that BiggestBest
must murder a clown, only that BiggestBest
will murder a clown. God in choosing the world where BiggestBest would murder a clown makes Him the ultimate sovereign -- without absolving BiggestBest of responsibility for his choice to murder a clown."
Obviously BiggestBest isn't a clown murderer. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. I'm sure he'd choose to NOT murder any clowns. But God has already determined that BiggestBest WILL murder a clown, and he'll go to Hell for breaking that Commandment. So, how does BiggestBest's free will to NOT murder a clown override God's knowledge that it
will happen and unlimited power to
make it happen?
