Free will Argument against Divine Providence
#67
RE: Free will Argument against Divine Providence
Genakus,

I am saying that any definition of Libertarianism that implies that chance can be "free-will" is useless and one's that claim "free-will" without chance is contradictory.

I am not close minded, I stated what I believe to be the issue, in my opinion. If you believe I am not entitled that opinion without being close minded, then you are close minded, in my opinion.

"Free will" has a large effect on what our moral responsibility ultimately is.

Either we are ultimately entirely determined or NOT.

The "NOT" part demonstrates a true dichotomy when combined with the "ultimately" part filtering out us being partly determined and partly undetermined.

The point is, in either case we are not free in the ridiculous way that many laypeople believe; such ridiculous ways, like religion, can case harm. People believing that people are more responsible that they are, for example.
