    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...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

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

    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...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    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:

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    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.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Just read this, this is a good comment for sure, nice one! Which doesn't mean i'm in complete agreement, but it's a very well reasoned comment, which i appreciate.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    What you mean is that was possibly the first time it became part of a discipline. When i say possibly, the only history i know which is immutable, is contained in the Bible. As a keen historian, i can tell you for a fact secular history often turns out to be false/inaccurate and needs revision...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Nothing i can do when you're incapable of understanding that we have/can will but as we can only exercise it at times, it isn't free will. Only God himself has free will, the angels don't have it either.

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Cheers GWH and so hope you mean that for real, sure you can understand my suspicions at this moment but hopefully, they'll soon be gone. Ah! One doesn't need free will for choice and intention, God knows what's in our hearts and minds, he holds us accountable for them too. Which is absolutely...
