Position:Home>Philosophy> Is this really "free will"?? Read on..?Question: Is this really "free will"!?!? Read on!.!.!? It's like God is saying "You have free will to do whatever you want to, but do what I tell you or you will be punished, oh and by the way I am all seeing so I know what you are going to do before you do it"
How is this free will!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Good question!. First of all the god of most religions is flawed!. No god would interfere with human affairs without being a sick sadistic one!. Basically the Christian god is a bully!. But I digress!. So god knows everything!. That makes it seem like there could be no free will!. But what you have to understand is this!. Rather than simply knowing what you will do, god knows everything you can choose to do!. So for instance, sitting here typing this, god knows I can simply keep typing!. Or pick up my computer and toss it across the room!. Or have a freak heart attack!. Or sneeze!. Etc!. So in knowing all possibilities, we can still have free will!. It all goes into string theory!. All possibilities happen at all times simultaneously!. So when I choose to post this, there will be another time line that runs simultaneously where I scoff and delete everything!. And several infinite other possibilities!.Www@QuestionHome@Com One criticism of God is that he conflicts with free will, i have the power to cause mass mayhem and God can;t stop me!.!.!.he could have not created me if he is all powerful and knew i would go on this rampage!.!.!.but if he knew i was going to go on this rampage then i have no choice in what i do!.!.!. Basically to believe in God you need to draw a line, ether he has no control (possibly from throwing adam and eve out) or he has control and we have no free will!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It well known, that there is a consequences of what ever you do !. That is a law!.!.Human societies build their own laws upon natural one, enforcing natural flow of Cause and effect progress!. That human created laws based on punishment and it is that how human understand a Law of Nature!. Now nobody knows how Law of nature will work, and and a term "God Wrath", had been cooked!. but, we know that human laws work fast and effective!.!.!.Kill 'em!!!That how we are contradicting or distrust God with His Cause and effect Law which also we can call free will!.It would be synonyms !. By the way, once we make a desision Free Will is not free any more !. And it cannot be otherwise for humans !.We submiting ourselves to our desisions and it takes over you untill you succeed ot fell to succeed!. As you are restricted by your desisions , so Free will is restricted!.Www@QuestionHome@Com We have free will to make decisions!. Just because there will be consequences to certain decisions does not mean we do not have free will!. We have free will because we are free to turn our back on God at any time, and he will just wave bye-bye, see you later!. He won't try to force us back!. He will wait until we come back on our own accord!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Just because a choice may have a poor consequence doesn't mean it's not a choice!. God's punishment and knowledge of our actions wouldn't necessarily preclude the freedom of our actions!. Www@QuestionHome@Com I think if you follow all guidelines it seems not to be free will!.The free will is just the choice to follow the rules or not!.Make since!?Www@QuestionHome@Com doesn't believe in free!.!.!. everything has a price!.!.!. especially the so called "free" stuff!.!.!. as for "will" how else can we define our selves!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com That's not true free will!. Www@QuestionHome@Com we can choose not to do what he says!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
