    predisposition of what each human is born to do. Humans, according to existentialist beliefs, are condemned to be free. With freedom comes consequences. Since humans are free to make their own decisions, we are each responsible for our own consequences. Letting others choose for us would be being in bad faith because that would be putting oneself in the position to have as much free will as an inanimate object. In the play No Exit, all three characters Joseph Garcin, Estelle Rigault, and Inez…

But the creatures are not happy. Therefore God lacks either goodness, or power, or both” (The Problem of Pain 23). C.S.
