A 'proof' of God's existence - free will
#23
RE: A 'proof' of God's existence - free will
I don't have to know what color the light on Central and 72nd in St Pete is to know that my cat is a dick. We don't have to know everything to know something. We don't have to know the initial conditions of the universe or the mind of god to know whether we have free will.

There are lots of things that others possess that they -could- impart to others, but that won't (and doesn't, and literally can't) certify that they have imparted those things to others. An argument for free will would not be some comment as to whether or not a god has something to give, but a demonstration that we have received that something - from a god or anything else.

Gods, after all, are said to have alot of abilities that we do not.
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!
