Theological Breakthrough: Problem of Suffering Refuted, Permanently

SavedByChrist Wrote:If you cannot choose to do something what are you?

A living organism, which does not, as nature so readily demonstrates, require choice.

SavedByChrist Wrote:surely you cannot think, as thinking relies on choice,...

An unproven assumption with the causation reversed.

SavedByChrist Wrote:..."what's going on?", "my opinion", "what I see", you can't thin and think is opinion.

What?

So you say but have not proven.

Now now, Min, you know that's just your teenage rebellion talking.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

We're not talking about a living organism, my brain lives yet I'm not my brain, we are talking about persons, conscious beings, Immaterial Minds(which is what we are), us conscious immaterial beings cannot exist without free will

What?

When you think, that's free will. prove a way in which you could think without free will, if not then I stand corrected, Free Will is Necessary for the "Thinking Thing" aka The Mind, aka a conscious being.

Free Will is a necessity for Conscious Beings as proven above.

Our strident little Christian monkey thinks free will can actually make him less of an born again loud mouth moron than he is preordained to be.

Evertyhing you've just said is an unproven assumption. In fact, I'm not going to debate you any further until you learn not to use assumptions as arguments.

Fun fact: Simply stating these does not make them true.
