Is free will an atheist plot to undermine God’s authority?
Why do atheists believe in free will?
I don't get how they believe in free will but also believe the universe was deterministically created by the big bang. In that scenario everything you do was predetermined from the start so there's no free will.
atheists believe
Free will exists virtually in absence of omniscience, or more accurately free will is a useful model to apply to human decision making when you can't accurately predict every single decision any human will make due to insufficient knowledge. But you bloody well knew that you homo.
Shut up Calvinist heretic. Sage.
Intelligence creates free will. We make non-deterministic decisions. Biological systems work differently than physical systems, even though both abide by the laws of physics. You can find non-biogenic methane, but you'll never find non-biogenic thought.
It's not a hard concept.
no, you all don't want God, so you gave yourselves
over to a false God and are playing word games.
if you don't have Gods will you have Freewill which
is three will or saturns will.
>Implying there's a difference between free will and Gods will.
Lol, no.
enjoy your programmed life.
Am I still a homo if I’m pic but find men ugly?
>Is free will an atheist plot to undermine God’s authority?
Theologically speaking, it’s supposed to be God giving us the ability to freely choose whether or not we wish to serve Him. Both Eve taking the Apple and Mary saying “let it be done unto me according to your will” were expressions of free will, disordered in the former and ordered in the latter
But those were intricately important decisions in God’s plan. They had to happen for Jesus to come in the flesh and do His thing. God planned it.
exactly correct - unless they subscribe superhuman supernatural powers to the Spirit over matter - straight Jesus powers in fact (albeit less powerfully)
we have free will but we are also stuck in sinful flesh (for now)
Some don't believe in it. The others are over 18 years old and realize that for all intents and purposes human beings act as though they have free will.
LMAO - totally incorrect for a non supernatural interpretation of life and universe
I am an atheist and I believe in free will.
Because I properly define free will first.
If intelligence is a supernatural power of matter then you could claim some of that, otherwise you're stuck with the big bang and evolution, which means you're a robot...
Uh... If you believe in God you should know that he gave all men free will.
atheists have no free will belief - they are scibangmatons
No.
no you're not and no you don't
we have will, but our conciousness is low, so our will is poorly managed
I don't believe in free will since it's not yet clear if we have or don't have free will. It's easier to just admit we don't know yet, although some studies already suggest we might not have free will.
Also, if you're christian you are not white.
Which is funny because predestination predates ideas of free will.
So is everything a part of God's plan or do we have free will? If it's a plan, we are predestined for our actions which is not free will, but if we do have free will then there can't be a plan as free will is undetermined until the action is made
Not religious myself but if God is real the plan is obviously somewhat general and not literally a step-by-step plan for how every single corner of reality is going to run until the end. God created the conditions, knowing what would arise from them inevitably based on the laws He created. Within the ruleset is the capacity for sapient creatures to make decisions not 100% connected to their basic instincts, as a result they would be capable of both good and evil, behaviors which necessitate free will.

You could’ve just said there’s no free will.
If I predict that OP is going to suck a huge, mind-bogglingly large number of cocks I'm not taking away his gay free will. He still makes the decision to be a massive and uncontrollable fag of his own free will, and if he weren't so fucking gay he could make a decision with his free will to no longer inhale cocks.
Does freewill exclude morality?
I’m not sure how you arrived at that conclusion.
If this is true then why can't we program non-deterministic random number generators?
Because it’s not true.
