    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Sorry PH, out of sorts because of all the trolling and just answering the same questions repeatedly. There is no bouncing around in my opinion on will, it's sort of a package, things like motivation and desire are part of it. We can unilaterally exercise it sometimes but often need the...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    "i don’t think you would see anything as an example of man having thier own Will. " Doubt it's a spurious statement, i do think you have integrity but it's a fallacious one. An example of expecting me alone to instantly know and recall all comments, posted by the world and its uncle instead of...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    i do understand but think you're not understanding that i am one person on my own, who needs to respond to so many comments which are often deliberate trolling. Post a link to my reply, i'd actually like to take a rest from the stupidity soon. Instead of reading through comments themselves...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    That isn't an example of free will, it's an example of the hivemind i mention in my last post. With many creatures, they have great power when they operate collectively, often because of some external stimulus. There are different ways it's expressed, examples such as the St Vitus Dance...

    Sadly, your comment is delusional, it's the absence of good faith which stands out in a hefty majority of responses to my post.

    Non-Christian related movies

    Might have posted a link to the first film before, it's one of those quirky, very British films, which always lifts my spirits when they're a bit rumpled: Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910554/ This film is pretty delightful: Local Hero...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    It's important to say how troubling the behaviour of so many who purport to be Christian, has been on this thread. Many view themselves as morally superior to non-believers, when attempted bullying of me for daring to state a contrary opinion to what amounts to a collective hivemind, has been...

    I play 3 mins blitz chess now btw, sadly, even 10 minute games allow more than enough time for cheats to use engines.

    Perhaps you should consider a better explanation.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Choice is not will, nobody has suggested otherwise! You seek to cause strife, not engage in debate, i'm sure your choice of reading matter is for self aggrandisement rather than enlightenment too.

    Pontification is much more your bag than mine.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Cracked up laughing, there's no doubt facts are facts, just some facts turn out not to be facts after all. Hence why opinion is often changed about what was previously considered historical fact. :rolleyes:

    You think believing we have choice is in doubt? just wondering why you need to capitalise choose.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Why the confusion? It's fact there has been and will be, much revision of history. Seriously don't understand you finding that strange. Going to play chess too now, it's one of my daily essentials, so probably won't immediately answer comments for a while.
