The Cosmological Argument and Free Will

[FatAndFaithless]

Not addressed to me but that never stopped me before.

No problem. I'm quite content to argue with anyone who can be intelligent and civil.

I would say that coercion is when your natural drive or nurtured preference is obstructed by outside (usually societal) forces.

So I'm an old, lazy, retired guy. If I have to get up from my comfy chair where I tap out stupidities on the Atheist Forums to cook dinner, is coercion involved?

Not a great example... obviously there's a difference between outside societal forces and and you deciding to get up and type.
