Christians? Is character REALLY character if God just "places" it in us?

John S don't be simple-minded. I wasn't aware that atheists believe in God enough to answer this. Do you have any scriptures to offer to support your claim?

It's not something that is shoved in you, it's something that you gradually learn by following God's voice. The very act of opening yourself to God's path is showing character in my book.

Apparently God chooses everything that happens to you. No free will, just him pullin' strings
Ecclesiastes 3: 1- 8
3:1 Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses.

3:2 He sets the time for birth and the time for death, the time for planting and the time for pulling up,

3:3 the time for killing and the time for healing, the time for tearing down and the time for building.

3:4 He sets the time for sorrow and the time for joy, the time for mourning and the time for dancing,

3:5 the time for making love and the time for not making love, the time for kissing and the time for not kissing.

3:6 He sets the time for finding and the time for losing, the time for saving and the time for throwing away,

3:7 the time for tearing and the time for mending, the time for silence and the time for talk.

3:8 He sets the time for love and the time for hate, the time for war and the time for peace.

Why are you asking only Christians this? Their doctrine does not profess this. I think you are trying to pick a fight.
