Why can’t you exhaust the other discussion before asking another?
Seem like you are asking these questions to find errors instead of to actually know how it works.

its a spiritual food you cannot test.
You see that it's mysterious because the lord flying spaghetti monster works in mysterious ways.
Science cannot test such.
It's more mysterious to find you that this spiritual food created your God. Because you don't know doesn't mean it's not true cheesy

Because you have not tested it doesn't mean it doesn't exist just like your God cheesy
But it is spaghetti: spaghetti is food!
Whether spiritual or physical, food is food and it is ment for chewing. It's even on the lowest scale on the food chain, isn't it?

Actually, embarking on a wild goose chase is wasting energy. That is why I decided not to continue with that one.

So, are you going to answer the question or not?

I don’t want everyone to be committed to atheism, religion is based on lies.
The Bible is a lie, Christianity is built in lies that’s all.

No wonder you are this evasive. Repeating made up slogans like a broken record will not make it true.

Spaghetti is made for just ONE purpose.
TO BE EATEN!!

He cannot be eaten because he's made of spiritual spaghetti that cannot be tested.

There's evidence that he created God

LordReed:
This question is for the theists who say everything has a cause and also believe they have free will. Can you explain how everything having a cause does not lead to determinism, a situation where everything is already determined by what came before it. As opposed to your belief that we have freewill. How can we have freewill if whatever we do had a cause and that cause also had a cause which also had a cause and so on?

Modifying the OP with some clarifications to help understand the question better:

So another way to put the question will be how do you know your will is not being affected by the chain of events that led to your existence?

You probably have particular foods you like eating and when faced with a choice would more likely pick them over other foods. To you you are freely making that choice however my question is asking, if your ability to choose is part of a causal chain you had no hand in bringing about how do you know you are freely choosing those foods? How do you know that your predilection for those foods is not a result of the causal chain? How do you know that your choice at any given moment was not influenced by the causal chain of events that brought about the situation in which you find yourself having to make a choice?
