The problem of free will
#3
RE: The problem of free will
Free will is an incoherent concept.

Do you know why I don't choose to eat a bowl of salt? Because I have no initial desire to do so. In fact, I have an aversion to it.

Did God consult me when creating me with these initial likes and dislikes? Certainly not. So my "free will" (presupposing that it exists) is still just an engine that operates on pre-existing conditions, making the result rigged.

We act in accordance with desired outcomes to the best of our ability as rational animals. Free will is the moronic invention of the apologist and it doesn't even appear in the Bible.
Jesus is like Pinocchio.  He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
