God, our genes, our environment, or some stupid programmer keying in code at an ancient terminal - there's no way free will can ever exist if we as individuals are the result of some external cause.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the greatest gifts that God has given us is free will. Even though it's free, we don't take advantage of it as much as we could when it comes to matters of the heart.
The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.
There have always been arguments showing that free will is an illusion: some based on hard physics, others based on pure logic.
We must believe in free will, we have no choice.
In philosophy, they talk a lot about humans being actual organic machines, and the idea of free will is something that we've made up. We actually don't have free will. We're acting according to our programming as organic mechanisms.
As far as I can see, it's not important that we have free will, just as long as we have the illusion of free will to stop us going mad.
Genetics play a huge part in who we are. But we also have free will.
God gave us free will, and we may choose to exercise it in ways that end up hurting other people.
I defy you to find any real will, any reasoning force, outside of life. And everything is there; there is, in the world, no other will than this force which impels everything to life, a life even broader and higher.
We have to believe in free-will. We've got no choice.
