So we would think in terms of saying things like "hey use your brain," but that implies that we are distinct from our brain.Yes there is. At least, I'm not a naturalist so I don't know why you are using that argument with me.
Flobee Wrote:The argument essentially is that without the belief in a soul or immaterial reality we cannot explain free will as the posters above me have agreed on as well as the major atheists I have listed because we are nothing more then our matter or we are the matter and so "we" don't govern ourselves because there is no self, there is merely matter governed by predetermined physical laws.I don't want to explain free will. I have it and that's good enough for me. I can admit that I don't know, but I'm not going to believe in God just because something can't be explained.
