Not Convinced Determinism Makes Sense of Moral Responsibility. Convince Me It Does

[Neo-Scholastic]

One thing I believe is relevant to free will is the idea of creativity. Very few choices are simple forks in the road or ordering from a menu. And even those are not so simple. You can choose neither path and go off-roading. You can flirt with the server instead of ordering. The capacity to invent new choices and create opportunities is part of what makes us human, the infinity within us.

I have no problem with positing an 'infinity' within us, I just don't think we require a transpersonal entity to bequeath it to us. I don't see any need for an intermediary source to broadcast this infinity to our receiver either. I agree that any account which leaves out creativity is over simplifying the problem. If depth has arisen anywhere it might just as well come from/to us directly.

That's very true. My response the OP was that fear of determinism is not a valid apologetic for God's existence. A strong advocate of free will like Sartre (atheist) would not see the need for a trans-personal entity, as you call it. And most Calvinists seem to advocate strong determinism.
