Free Will & The Soup Nazi

A typical Christian apologia to the question “Why evil exists” is to allow free will. People are free to choose good or evil, God or the devil. However, the verdict is already in. If you choose not to believe in God or follow Him, you will burn in hell for eternity. Is that really free will?

Isn’t there another similar strict code of behaviors somewhere? It goes something like this:

Thou shall not be loud or annoying in His shop
Thou shall not take forever on the order
Thou shall not make small talk with Him
Thou shall not stand around idly (rather, place the order and step to the left to receive)
Thou shall not embellish on the order
Thou shall not make any extraneous comments
Thou shall not ask any questions
Thou shall not make any compliments

Otherwise: “NO SOUP FOR YOU”!
