why doesn't your deity protect my free will?

[Excited Penguin]

The concept of free will is impossible to imagine, let alone describe reality. So no, you wouldn't have free will not even if god existed. How exactly is it any different if god helped you or if a kidnapper took you? They both intervened in your life anyway. But that's not the point. Without a god, there is no free will because the world causes itself, if you know what I mean, none of us are independent of anything else to be able to say" I am free to do what I want" - no we aren't, we just like to believe we are, because otherwise we'd all probably end up depressed or smth. Anything and everything you do is not of your own volition, but it is rather a build-up in your environment, genes and finally in your brain that you know pretty much nothing about and can't really change. We truly have absolutely no power over the universe and what will happen in it, nothing and nobody does or can have power over anything, but it's funny to have the illusion, isn't it?

So that's another concept the theists majorly fucked-up with. I mean, seriously, if there was a god, free will would be even more ridiculous to imagine then it already is. How could you have free will if everything in the world was created a certain way, at a certain point in time, and therefore it's all 'predetermined'(which is true even without taking into account the concept of god) and not only that but it can be changed at divine will(at least from a theistic point of view).

I recommend Sam Harris' short book Free Will, to those who still doubt it.

Actually, you can even watch this:
