Hey Bluejay,
​
I don't really see much to disagree with here but I think I might have spotted a non-sequitor:
​
Thus, benevolence requires individuality (free will).
​
Why does individuality neccessitate free will?

​
Individuality is free will.
​
Why?
​
Are you saying there couldn't be pre-determined individuality?

Re: Individuality
Can you give me an example of pre-determined individuality?
​
God pre-determined the creation of Bluejay and Catholic Scientist with perfect foreknowledge that they will be individuals and how the differences in the way that they benefit from his benevolence will cause conflict which will make some people think that he's an asshole.

Re: Individuality
I was hoping for something a little more formulaic or metaphorical.
​
I'm sorry I let you down.
​
As it stands, I still don't see why you think individuality exists in this situation.
​
Because we're two distinct persons, or individuals. If we weren't, wouldn't we be the same person?
​
Maybe I don't know what you mean by individuality?
