It is not like determinism or even probability for that matter. I don't think free will is a think as I was trying to explain like neuroscience says it is not.
But yeah, religion does have a lot of BS. I do not think Jesus Christ even existed at all, did he not?
But yeah, if I understand what "precludes", as in "precludes free will" means, and I bet I do, I am sure what I was previously talking about or was trying to say before about how the mind works prevents free will from being a thing. In fact, one of the reasons, and I mean one out of perhaps many, as to why people believe in free will is that they want to believe they really are free, and they want to think that they can freely choose even when they actually don't. What other reasons could there be for people believing in free will?
They *need* to accept their theological system is real. But seriously, that is an excellent question !
Wait, it is? Which one? Forgive me for not understanding.
