Why I don't believe in 'free will'
#3
RE: Why I don't believe in 'free will'
This was written by a lady a while back...I thought her breakdown of Freewill was really good... Take a read and tell me what you think...

It is also written that I was given free will with which to choose if I will go to hell or not. How can you possibly deem something free when you must fear consequences? That completely conflicts with the definition of free. If I were to hold a gun to your head and say “you have free will to not give me your wallet, but if you attempt to defy me I will kill you.” Does it really feel as if you have a choice in the matter? Of course not. Free means to give or receive something with out an expectation of return. The whole free will concept is self defeating. Call it Circumstantial Will, for that is what it truly is.
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...
