…if we look at free will as a choice within the system we live in and ignore the existence of all other options then in each situation there is a higher percentage of choice. Each event has a different level of choice. We can be at a crossroads where one path is easy and the other, perhaps we could...

I agree with this. Thank you for sharing what is a ‘rough go of it’ in your personal life. Free will can have its limitations due to a number of things. IHQ names a few. It’s also a proven fact that our actions and thoughts have precursor functions in the brain. I do think, however, that free will ...

This post along with others I’ve seen from you cause me to think that you have delusions of grandeur. You’re not alone. Hitler was like that. Time will tell, if it already hasn’t, whether or not Trump suffers from the same. You’re in good company. 😉 Regards, MG Please don't call my religious belief...

A fellow I know compulsively sorts everyone online into either believers in a 'creator God,' or hopelessly nihilistic atheists. This same fellow has a seeming inability to read source material--even that he himself quotes or links to. Does even he have the ability to exercise free will? I can only ...

I do think there is an element of conditioning. And what goes on in your life affects choices. Some people feel they have no choice in some situations because they lack knowledge of other options. Or they can't see past perhaps a dire situation to rationalise. I think we have choice that is limited...

I can only speak for myself. I am Jesus Christ.

As far as “appearance “ is concerned I can only speak for myself. I have free will. And I’m not trying to keep up appearances. 🙂😉 If a 40 year old man tells you that he is a 19-year old girl, regardless of his appearance, would you believe him? Is he mentally ill or of sound mind? Not that it matte...

I'm glad to have you back, MG. I missed the back and forth.

Thanks!

It’s a delicate dance.

But it is worthwhile I think. I suppose I need to be careful not to say anything to offend. Even if it might be innocuous, low key, or some poor attempts at being facetious.
