Does Free Will actually exist? Is there a way to tell?

Yep, I guess I am the dummy. Didn't see the quoted box where you quote Rhythm.

-If god is present in our future (for example.. is omni-present-), then that future - from some point of view- is already actualized. We are progressing towards it, it is determined.
-If god has knowledge of our future states (for example.....is omni-scient), then those future states -from some point of view- are already actualized. We are progressing towards them, they are predetermined.

Now sure, sure, you don't like the idea of "god" being the one determining this stuff...and that's okay....because it doesn't have to be god doing it for either of the above to hold. I don't mind allowing you that little comfort blanket

This is what you said in post #82, sounds to me that you are taking predetermination/destination as your stand, you really should try and read what you say or do not say it. You not only moved the goal post outside the stadium, you switched teams. You also said predetermination doesn't need a plan and I can pull that up too, seems your above statements have betrayed you. Now that I have established this, all you care about is winning an argument at all cost, even at your own integrity. I'm finished with you, I care nothing about arguing a point or subject with such a wishy washy person. Especially one who has to lower himself to the point of calling people names, when it was you that was wrong.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

You also forgot to read -what you forgot to quote-. Jerkoff
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What I want to forget is the arrogance that you have, believing you're above everyone else is bad for your health.
