A thing about religious (and other) people and the illusion of free will

-and there we go, we all have our religioius ideations.   Theyre natural to us. The dispute is not between religious ideation and it's antithesis, it's between competing religious ideations.  The current crop is garbage, and we need a better quality of....going forward.

Sorry for the late reply, I was busy.

But yeah, I do agree on all counts.

Here is another thing that people may have that I think has to do with what I have been saying, to an extent.

Despite what some people think and may deny, we are animals. Humans, in particular, are said to be in the ape category of the animal kingdom. Further, we are only mostly different from animals mentally and socially, but we still more than often display animal behavior. We even go by hierarchies in terms of power and dominance, like how most animals do. We also tend to do animal things like hunting, fighting, killing, communicating, those kind of things; if in different ways compared to other animals, given how advanced we humans are. In terms of killing, that, of course, is not allowed by law in many or all areas, but people still do it, and they do it based on animal-based behaviors they still have rather than being reasonable and more humane. That said, humans can still be more animal-like, and in fact, they still have to develop to become more humane, or human overall. I would say the less developed a person is, or turns out to be, the more animal-like they may be. This may not always be the case, but you should know what I mean.

I think these animal behaviors we have not only affects emotions, but interferes with the human ability to choose, let alone the right decision from the wrong one. In other words, if free will were to exist, the animal behavior that humans still have to this day is a factor that limits or hinders free will in terms of what choices are made, wouldn't you say?

Still, just because humans are socially and mentally different in plenty of ways from other animals, does not mean we are fully unique and are completely something else other than animals.
