Quote:Early on on this thread others were trying to define free will in such a way that necessities the capacity to choose the alternative.Probably because that's the common perception of it, that may, I grant you, be in error. One of the amusing things in this, is that you are attempting to define away what free will has been so commonly accepted to be while retaining the words "free will". It's a dodge, sorry, but that's what it is.
Quote:It's a common idea of free will, but as has been stated popular doesn't mean right.No, definitely doesn't, but it absolutely has to be right for certain christian myths to be functional. I find it amusing that someone would argue for a "free will" that can't even choose between A and B (of course you haven't, just a couple of posts ago you argued for an a or b choice - in spite of yourself).
