Whoa!! Hold the phone..

Let me get this straight.

You have been arguing all this time that you don't believe that free will actually exists which is a definate point of view.

But, on the other hand...

You also don't believe that free will is an illusion either.

You see, I actually do experience something that I call 'free will', whether it turns out to be true or false it's still there as a definate experience, but you don't experience anything at all then? Nothing, even if it does turn out to be an illusion and not of our own making?

Are you having a turkish?
