Faith accepts that the heavens and the earth were created by a being of immense power which they call god.

The year was 2024 and by proclamation it was publicly declared that free will did not exist. Legislatures everywhere had been convinced by numerous well-meaning but ultimately ignorant philosophers and others that no one could be held responsible for any act they did as they were pre-destined to behave so.
