Free will and the necessary evil
RE: Free will and the necessary evil

Could you give me an example of something which doesn't have some reason or cause behind it?

Re: 1st point -- Allow me to greet you in my 2nd language of Tagalog (the language of the Philippines): "mabuhay!" 👋

Re: 2nd point -- If I were to do that, it would make a part of me die inside. I am a "reality scientist" and on other forums, I sometimes speak on behalf of reality. It is like when the Wikipedia Arbitration Committee emails you, the entire group doesn't email you -- just one member. And that member will begin all/some of his statements with the prepositional phrase "For ArbCom," and since it was pleasing to my ears, I co-opted it and it motivates me to speak "For reality" due to my confidence at understanding reality to a profoundly-satisfying degree! 😁 (pardon my giddy exuberance)

Suppose there are 4 people in a room and you are (by far) the smartest person in the room, do you really care what the other 3 people think? 🤔
Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yes, we will rejoice, for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards to children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel. 🙏
