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

Besides, I was just talking about free will, in the wrong way. Seems like I missed something, but as this was said merely in the wrong terms, I do not think this is worth arguing about. I mean, it happens.

I know what I was talking about, I just did not use the right words. I did not mean to say it so that every other concept did not exist.

I'm not "worked up". I'm pointing out that human concepts are just as real -- material -- as anything else, so the conclusion that they don't exist in nature is fundamentally flawed.

I'm not upset. I like accurate language, especially in a format where it is the only means of communicating. I will make it quite clear when I'm pissed; now isn't one of those times.
