Why is the ruling elite so hell-bent on convincing their cattle that a human is just a meat puppet animated by molecular dynamics? Why does every state-run institution teach this idea? Why does every mainstream media outlet promote it?

Putting aside the fact that you're lying, your premise doesn't explain anything. "Because it's heckin' science" doesn't explain their obsession with promoting this supposed "truth". The truth never mattered to the state or the information-industrial complex. They will lie through their teeth or simply omit the truth when it suits them.

Honestly, with amount of retarded NPC I see in daily life makes me wonder if 99.9% are the actual soulless filler because the world is so fucking gay that no genuine spirit want to come here, and the percentage only gries higher due to pajeets, gookbugs and nigger overbreeding.

Only God knows everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen, and the fact that he knows what will happen proves that free will is an illusion because God already knows what's coming before you've even gone along with it.

but Christ told to embrace it, to accept you are God, to become like him, an incarnation of God, and with that knowledge, we can at least humble ourselves

Why do you think people are arrogant, they drive around in giant cars pushing everybody around

everybody thinks they are God, thats why humans are such assholes

but if you admit it, if you embrace it, you can evolve past it, and become Christ

I will tell you what it is solely on account of those Divine trips. On the most basic level, free will refers to an intuitive understanding that there's a fundamental difference between the way conscious and self-aware beings make decisions and the way a rock helplessly rolls down the hill when it's kicked.

you are truly God, but if you dont understand it, you will be a tyrant instead of a server

Will seems to be genes responding to the environment, free will is the control over how one interprets his environment through conventional abstractions.
You're the one who sets which abstractions make up your reality hence control how you will react in front of stimuli.
You might not control perfectly what stumbles upon you, but you have control over how you let that thing influence your worldview or not.

Lacking free will is living in a purely conventional reality, being a NPC. While having free will is being able to tap in your sensational reality, one that goes beyond the words of men.

Your turn.

The Western religious notion of free will is pure narcissistic delusion - a grandiose fantasy that places human choice on a preposterous metaphysical pedestal above the natural laws and deterministic forces governing the entire cosmos. This contra-causal fairytale imagines our minds as immaterial, formless, magical sources of utterly uncaused, ex nihilo causal powers, exempt from the physiological constraints and causal chains that rationally explain all other phenomena. It arrogantly recasts human decision-making as some miraculous, self-created form of willful creationism rather than recognizing it as shaped by the same rational patterns and processes describing the rest of the known universe. In essence, it inscribes blatant anthropocentric narcissism as pseudo-profundity, shamelessly elevating human ego over empirical explanations of how embodied minds actually operate via scientific naturalism.

In fact, unless I am arguing something specifically about free will, I ignore such requests because it's difficult to define in a way that would be generally agreed upon, so the whole thing just degenerates into arguments about semantics, when I'm far more interested in the attitude and reasoning of free will deniers, who argue not against any particular definition of free will on logical grounds, but against the very sense of agency on the ground of their thinly rationalized nihilism.

They chose to eat the fruit of knowledge and good and evil after being told not to. This shows that they had free will before eating the fruit in the story. It's a satanic inversion to portray the fruit as the origin of free will when that was God given from creation.
>>
>>472865610
if they have not eaten the fruit, how would they understand disobeying God was evil?

this obviously is a show put up by God to teach us something, and that something isnt a dumb plain tyrannical line like "you have to always obey God, lesson learned"

no, thats not the lesson, thats not the purpose of what happened

Satan was only an agent of God

The garden doesnt represent perfection and lack off suffering, the garden represent animal ignorance, ignorance is bliss

God did not push out of the garden as a punishment, God pushed us out in its plan for our awakening

Satan knowingly or not, was just another tool

kinda like the "anti free will" crowd, they knowingly or not, are only tools that will serve to further manifest the reality of free will and God

ironically the only determinism that exists is that all things end up serving Gods plan, truly free and loving existence, which is the end plan of reality, realizing that existence is most valuable, through individuality and freedom, and then love

the only thing you cannot be, is not free

you are determined to be free hahahahahah

devalue something so they can "buy it out" and control it, just like every other commodity.
when mains water supplies became popularised, the government was sending information saying previous water supplies were all suddenly dangerous and contaminated, because those were free, from rainwater. tap water is something they could charge for.
by turning humans into just a meat bag, they can do whatever they want "because you're not special". slicing and dicing dead bodies to render them down for every organ, bit of skin, retina? that's fine.
taking aborted foetuses and mashing them up to make skin cream or sucking cells out to experiment on? that's fine.
they want to take it further, where you don't value your own kin any higher than a complete stranger from the other side of the world, or even the reverse, that you value the stranger more for whatever reason they give you - because then you have no ties, no loyalty, and your price is suddenly much much lower for them to buy.
they see people as commodities and they want the people to see themselves and others at the level of commodities too, so we can be bought for wholesale market prices.

It's more a question about what makes you you? Is it the actions you take on a day to day basis? Is is the thoughts in your mind?

>"ur using my words wrong!"
No, these describe your logical fallacy perfectly, because you as well seem don't understand the meaning of Will.
You want me to demonstrate "free will" away from karmic reality of exoteric material world, i.e. "cause and effect" when I just proven that cause and effect is unrelated when I talk about conundrum of the Reason and it's options to choose to follow the path of Self or what is expected from you by combining all knowledge from Id, Ego and Superego in to consideration. Free Will, when put through the lenses of our Ego formed within the limiting material world of this realm, can still feel the whispers of Spirit, or what psychologists call Id. Just like The Spirit, The Id is infallible, absolute state of subconscious that doesn't change at all throughout aging and even muh science proves it; in fact it's so deep that it's subconscious consist like of 70% of all Ego foundation, it's just goes beyond our self-awareness, yet Superego always comes first to self-awareness when faced with logistics of experience we gather from exoteric/outside world as it's serves as tumbler meant not to do anything that would harm you or get you in trouble, i.e. prejudices and established "morals", meanwhile whispers of Id are far less noticeable and requires meditation other than conscious parts of Id like survival instinct. It's within your Reason to choose to obey Id or Superego, and you make such decision by Will, thus Free Will means just to be free to Will what you truly believe is most beneficial, and as I said on my original post, quintessence of Will always follow the Love by default. That means cause and effect are not what denies existence of Free Will, but the Free Will must engage within the world of cause and effect with the help of Mind and the Reason, you retarded faggot. This proves your argument is a strawman, meant to make anons engage in red herring.

>free will
What is a will? Is it a behavioral bound in of it's self?

If I program an ai to adhere to an algorithmic behavior set, task it with eating, drinking, and shitting and pissing and create parameters to act in accordance to a perceived object rank index and I rank order them in a hierarchy with the list becoming a growing list that acts in relation to previous context...

Is such an algorithm free behavior? Or is this a bound on behavior to a set list?

What does the word "free" have to do contextually when added to the front of a word that implicitly informs a bound or rule/index set?

I find the word somewhat hard to understand, like an oxymoron. A free-will
Doesn't a will imply a behavioral index set?

You walk like a human, talk like a human, know like a human, react and respond like a human, emotions like a human... yet your thinking structure is free?

In the next minute can you think like a tree in a true sense? Are you free to do so? How about access causal link and know what proceeds in the endless chain of what an action will produce? Are you free to think in this way? How about instantaneously remove any emotional bearing on a thought or quiet the mind to perpetual silence? Are you free to think in these ways or alter your will to them?

In what sense is a bound free? If a will is a "self" and a self is bound rather than unbound and subject to feee manipulation without effort or restriction, what context does placing the word "free" in front of it imply?

I can make choices according to a chooser that is given to me, subject to a pregiven index hierarchy?

Is this actual freedom? Or a pre-imposed way of thought?

Still, that choice has to be based on some form of reasoning, and if not reasoning, how you act was the result of some other cause. You can't escape the fact that everything happens for a reason. I think I sort of know what you're getting at, but it's an illusion.

You can't "will" yourself to do something other than what all events leading up to that point causes you to finally do. Even if you would somehow be able to do that, you still would do that for a reason or a cause.

Do you get depressed by the fact that your mind constantly thinks about fucking hot women or eating good food and you having no control over that as well?

it could, but not determined by you. you would simply have exhaustive knowledge. BUT, God can and does determine things to happen. Look at Acts 4:27-28 as an example - think about everything which God had to arrange for that one event to happen.

How far back does the arranging go? Was it always Gods desire to show His mercy to us in the form of Christs sacrifice? Or was it just plan B?

But, just take a step back and look at a snapshot of the Present. Sure, the future isn't 100% knowable. Sure, all Jews aren't necessarily predestined to double down into the 9th circle of Hell. But, reality has taught us that the vast majority will and that the future will be bleak until we eliminate these Jews.

depends what you mean

https://www.gotquestions.org/predestination.html

Romans 8:29-30 tells us, “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.” Ephesians 1:5 and 11 declare, “He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will…In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.”

Free will commonly has two stages, in case of smoking cigs it would go like 1) do you have a choice if you want to smoke and 2) do you have a choice to resist the urge to smoke? Most people would agree that you don't have control over 1 but you have over 2.

You can add more stages to it, like do you have a free will if you have cigs in your house. It's just common sense that if you don't keep them around, it's easier to resist because else you have to go outside house to get them.

that's exactly what you're doing, because you lack the ability to either hypothesise or project onto the general public, and are stuck in concept that everyone thinks the same as you.
i'm talking about a wider perspective while you're desperately grasping onto personal feelings, because you're a cretin.
i even gave the dog example and you still don't get it. I'm not a dog but I can empathise with one and consider what might or might not be good for its state of being.

>>472871111
>>472870934

the point I understand to create us is to achieve a greater awe of being, of God, and of creation

God in the end not only wants us to have free will, God wants us to develop into beings like him and to join in the love of creation, love of ourselves and other beings

some guy said "Hell is others" but I think the point of life, that God is teaching us is "Heaven is others"

because from multiple free individual points of view, we can agree, we can see something and say along with God

"This is good"

and that goodness echoes in our souls, is much more greater than just itself, if he witness it and agree on it

existence and ourselves, others, this is invaluable!!

>I just don't like living in middle of trash.
Maybe that's more due to circumstance and conditioning than free will. I bet Indians don't like living amongst trash and shit filled streets, but they don't have a choice, because their government is laundering billions in fake space programs instead of buying their citizens toilets and plumbing.

>>472872095
>>472872008
I won't call you satan for that. God created us in his image so we have free will and an innate desire to create good like him.

Sin is the thing that holds us back from living like our father. Trying to portray original sin and the temptation of the serpent as good is wicked.
>>
>>472872456
>Maybe God is lonely?
What a weird trait to have when you're supposedly omnipotent and self sufficient
>>
>>472872084
but when it comes to God acting within time with creatures limited to thinking and acting in time, it seems that He prefers to express His standards (which are part of His nature) in terms of desires for us. Its not that He could not instantly conform reality to whatever it is His desires it to be like, for He could; its that He desire more to do it this way than the other for whatever His reasons may be.

It comes down to a hierarchy of desires or wills, not so much as God lacking, if we understand 'lack' to mean 'inability to have'.

A human analogy might be that i desire my infant son to not come to any harm...but i also have a desire that he learn to avoid harm by himself, so i might allow him to experience some pain as a lesson. There are all kind of limitations on this, and an, analogy when dealing with teh Divine, but its the best i can do right now.

>>472872539
>original sin

>>
>>472872456
God not being lonely is one angle for arguing the Doctrine of the Trinity. If God were truly lonely in this very fundamental way it really would indicate a lack of something, because no created being could ever truly understand Him in His fullness.

>>472868566
>In the next minute can you think like a tree in a true sense? Are you free to do so?
I can make my awareness more tree like, and I can focus my awareness upon the trees in my vicinity, and then it will produce more tree like perceptions. Of course, I don't get perfect tree awareness. To have perfect tree awareness I would have had to be born as a tree, grow as a tree, and discover life and the universe as a tree. Even if I could perfectly convert my entire body into that of a tree and experience being a tree exactly as all other trees from that moment onward, I would not be a true tree in the sense of having been built from seed and roots ground up into being one.
Despite these limitations, when I focus my awareness upon trees and I perceive tree like experiences, such as the visualization of an acorn sprouting from the earth in response to the spring sunlight. I dream about trees and merge my awareness into that of a tree and I experience the clash of perception between that of myself and the tree, and the incomprehensible shift in awareness that such an encounter causes to the perspective of dreaming which could not be anticipated from human knowledge and decision making about the nature of existence and trees.
>How about access causal link and know what proceeds in the endless chain of what an action will produce? Are you free to think in this way?
If I meditate and contemplate my actions and my life I can see the causal chains which lead from one state of mind to another. Can I go back all the way? I can't go back all the way, but I can go back some of the way, and I've seen much that is far beyond what people whom deny free will would say is possible for the will of the soul to see.
>How about instantaneously remove any emotional bearing on a thought or quiet the mind to perpetual silence?

A lot of people don't give a shit about living in middle of trash or in a mess or literal shit, tho there are less of those people in European and Asian populations. For me it comes from genetics as in my parent's genetics. In English it's called conscientiousness.

I can't predict when I think my room is untidy enough tho I clean up daily a bit here and there. I do believe in general life tips like you can pick up a habit to do dishes a bit every day so they don't stack up but I don't think people have free will about it, me included.

God doesnt need to condemn us we are already part of eternity

I have thought similarly but I think lonely is a very human quality hahah like the French said

but maybe its about love of being, being such a powerful force, that it sprouts into more beings

and Ive heard, so are we just part of Gods narcissism and I think not, because there is lots of suffering and eternity is already what it is, with or without us

God would be God with or without us, so there must be a good reason to be with us, because love and we are truly individual

Because the thing about free will is that if one believes they have free will, they tend to behave as if they have free will. When one believes they do not have free will, they start to behave as if they do not have free will. So if you wanted to strip away the free will of a population to make them behave according to your own will instead, a good place to start is convincing the people that they have no free will. Once a person believes they have no free will, they also (consciously or not) inevitably stop believing in morality and accountability at some point, since nothing is really their fault without free will. At this point the individual is "free" to indulge in any and all vices and impulses, and to follow any orders without and moral objections.
>>
>>472872349

Absolutely this, they want to install their own, new slave morality (inb4 Chr*stcuck spam); whether or not you think that was (((their))) plan too, it doesn't matter, they want for us to accept their definition of humanity, and life = empty, accidental, meaningless, of, and a little selfish too.

Europeans are supposed to be Europeans, and value their countries, their people, their history, culture and ancestors for the greatness so far achieved, the struggles they went through. to ignore all of that and cast it aside as nonsense is to denigrate your own forefathers, even your grandparents.
that's exactly what they want, whether you see it or not.
as I surmised, your brain has been fully terraformed by modernity to the point where you're utterly malleable to whatever ideas they hand to you as long as it fits with "now is better than before", leaving a shallow wreck, a commodity as I stated in the first place.

But what truly matters to you is what matters to God, what truly matters to you? that is the thing

many people that do that, arrive at nihilism of some sort, nothing they thought they wanted, they truly wanted, etc

but I just told you what I want, and I think that aligns with God as well

I want this, and I want you to be you, I want that you believe whatever you want to believe

keep in mind that the moral structures were in place long before the religion, which is what fervent atheists are oblivious to. religion just formalised them, but they were there to make society more livable and function better.
if you behave in a certain way, the people around you also live better lives and you work better together as a whole.
