Free will and the necessary evil

must (definition) be obliged to; should (expressing necessity)

Source: I searched google and used these 2 keywords "define + must"

It's a complete and total non-sequitur to me. 🤦‍♂️

Perhaps but what if I told you said author got his info from a magic hat?

Then I would link you to the wikipedia article (which I can't link to due to the 30/30 rule) and ask that you provide commensurate evidence in accordance with what Wikipedia stipulates you must do:  

> When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim especially when it challenges a perceived status quo.[1] This is also stated in Hitchens's razor, which declares that "what may be asserted without evidence, may be dismissed without evidence." Carl Sagan proposed a related criterion – "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" – which is known as the Sagan standard.[2]

Then I would find the Abraham Lincoln meme from Reddit (about not everything on the internet being true) and send the meme to your PM inbox like it never went out of style. 😎

If you want to know why Carl Sagan is important, then I gave a reason 20 minutes ago because a fellow atheist PM'ed me and told me to write a post on the #introductions forum. I gave it my all and left no stone unturned. 👍
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. 🙏
