Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Maybe an A.I. should become a member and post at its own will. That would be interesting. Lol. Who wants to be an A.I. (don't look shades) [whisper="sockpuppet"] where they only post and respond with A.I. responses? That would be an interesting experiment. Edit: also, I forgot what we were talking ...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

You're throwing out an A.I. wall of text (with little or no commentary on your own) and asking people to debate it. I’m finding that in some respects A.I. is providing value in accessing information that can then be used for further commentary and introspection. Up to this point I think it’s been u...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

I’m still curious. Why is it that non religionists tend towards seeing the world through the lens of no free will? I’ve brought this up a number of times now and I don’t think I’ve seen a response. Regards, MG There may be a certain amount of discomfort, although I don’t know that for a fact, in di...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

But then, I’m not sure what a non religionist is, either. From Pi A.I.: A non-religionist, also known as a non-religious person, is someone who does not adhere to any particular religion or religious belief system. This term can encompass a wide range of individuals, including: * Atheists: those wh...

Perhaps no true free will. But a choice is available. The consequences of the choices make them cost…

Good post. Interesting perspective. Thanks.

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Thanks, MG. If we want questions answered by A.I., we can ask them ourselves. I’m sure YOU can (but would you?). But many won’t. It expedites and puts the information in front of ALL of us so that we can then interact with and make comment/expound on that information. It’s a help, not a hindrance. ...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

So, you’re saying we have 100% free will? I think that between what I’mwashingmypirate said and my responses to him, and other comments I’ve made, you have my answer. I didn’t attach a numerical valuation to something which is nigh unto impossible to accurately do so. As much as you might like it t...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Does the 7 year old child of Mormon parents in Utah really have a free will choice about being baptised at 8 years old? Does the born-in-the-the church married man, with a Mormon spouse, Mormon parents, a Mormon boss at work, and a social group entirely consisting of Mormons, have a free will choic...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

…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...
