Is free will  a myth?

We make decisions.  They are decisions that we would make so in a way we are bound to make them.  But they are decisions.  We make a lot of bad decisions, a lot of destructive decisions.  We are working on it.  We actually help each other more than ever.  It is only in the present age that tsunami and katrina victims would have got the outside help that they did.  They would be on their own in any other age.  Give your species a chance.  You won't see the end of war or hunger, but you can help work on it.

It’s not that they no longer have free will. They simply no longer need it. Free will requires the exercise of perception based judgment. Judgment is necessary only until we learn that Love is the only appropriate response to any situation we are confronted with. At this point we are operating beyond perception and judgment with a faculty known as vision. That is, we see all as though we were seeing through Gods eyes. Angles already have reached this state of vision therefore they do not operate using either perception or judgment. Freewill is no longer necessary from their position of vision and knowledge.

Im gonna try something and see if it makes sense:\n\nFirst on a lower scale:\n\nYou're saying that there is no free will because there is coercion.\n\nTherefore without coercion, we would have free will.\n\nNow if lets define coercion as "punishment"\n\nFree will is the ability to choose between "right" and "wrong"\n\nHowever, something is only "wrong" if there is some sort of negative consequence associated with it.  In most cases this would be a punishment in society (i.e. robbery leads to jail time, stealing a cookie leads to a slap on the wrist)\n\nSo without coercion, there is no "wrong" making "Free Will" a matter of "right" or "right."\nThis means we would have no distinction between choices and it would not be called "Free Will" because there is no choice to make.\n\nTherefore: coercion is essential in order to define "Free Will" because it makes a distinction between right and wrong.\nSo to answer your question free will only exists with coercion. yes.\n\n(if any of my high school logic makes sense)

free will is a hoax run by the government.  y do u think our doctors are always asking if we feel depressed and want to give us depression meds?  the government can control us better if were in a drug induced dream land.  plus they tax the fkn depression meds and make more money off us!!!  thats just my opinion tho...lmao

Nobody really knows, but people theorize that if we have free will, then there must be many parallel universes; a new universe for every choice any one has ever made. If we don't have free will, then there is just one universe and we chose the choices we would have always chosen because of our upbringing and the way our brains have been wired through our life experiences.

well i think is a  nice poem and i don't think it is a contradiction but a consistency through all of it . i also think that it is important for God to be chosen and not imposed this is what free will is all about . let those who chose Him to do so and let those who reject Him to do so too . i see not problem whit that . at the end we will get what we look for .\n plz let us know where u get it from .

If free will doesn't exist, then it would be pointless for you to ask this question.\n\nIf that's not enough of an answer, we're probably saved by the statistical nature of quantum mechanics.  But, free will is not something that physics can address at this time.  There's no data.

No. How can an imaginary being have free will? There is no god so you will just have to accept:\n\n1. Mortality\n2. Responsibility\n3. Science

No.\nHeaven is supposed to be the eternal paradise reward for a life well lived. It's meant to be the eternal harbor of joy for the soul. If there's nothing to do but enjoy divine grace, why would you need free will? Free will is for deciding when faced with choices, and deciding often leads to conflicts (internal as they may be). This leads to affiliation, taking sides, which leads to individualistic tendencies and result in social separation.

Most will say in free will and decision making.

He knows what's going to happen no matter what we do. We have the free will to choose Him or to not, and to choose anything else or to not. He knows what we're going to choose or what we're going to do, but that doesn't stop us from being the ones who choose it. See? If He created humans without free will, then His reason behind the creation would be pointless. We'd just be like puppets on a string, running around doing what He wants. He doesn't want that. He didn't create us to be something to play with, He created us to have a relationship with us.

Yes there is a God.  This same God gave us all a power.  This power is called free will.\n\nThe free will given to us by God is the power we have to create our own reality via our thoughts, beliefs, words and actions, either consciously or more often, subconsciously.  \n\nWe attract our own experiences unto ourselves with the power of our thoughts, beliefs, words and actions, as a result of the universal law of attraction. In other words, what you put in, you get back.

Neither.\nThey make a choice, it's all about free will.\nPlain and simple.\n\n(Thanks for the comments... have a nice day!)
