One of the primary motivations of freewill theism is the fact that libertarians resent being mere creatures. They rankle at the idea that they are totally dependent on God, while God is totally independent of them. They find that humiliating and demeaning.

In this respect, freewill theism is motivated by the same resentment as men and women who begrudge the fact that God made them men or women. So they rebel by cross-dressing or undergoing “gender reassignment” surgery. They can’t stand the fact that they are finite creatures. That God determined their sexual identity–and everything that goes with it. They hate heteronormativity.

So they strive to recreate themselves. Flout nature. Pursue their “target gender,” viz. M2F. Be their own little gods–in their grand little costume drama.

By contrast, the Calvinist is content with the niche that God assigned him. We are what God made us, as we rejoice in the distinctive experience of our humanity–with all its dimensions and limitations. We don’t war against our nature. Rather, we celebrate God’s design for man.

    What particular libertarian thinkers have suggested or implied as much?
