definitely not reading all this...
but yeah, i believe humans are born with free will. we make our own decisions, and design our own fate. whether God knows about our decisions beforehand is irrelevant. --------------------  |

I think most of you who say we have no free will (not you cupcake) are confusing an influenced decision with the ability to choose. just because a decision may be influenced by some other source doesn't mean you are bound by that influence, or that you can no longer make a choice. an influence doesn't make the decision for you.

if you have no conscious ability to change, decide or prevent anything is that free will? you take a fairly liberal view on the matter. i see it as your brain made the decision. had nothing to do at all with you

the term liberal doenst just have to do with politics if thats what you thought. theres pretty strong support for your brain not being you at all - in the meaning im guessing you were aiming at

everything you do is because of your brain is it not? what you do with your arms legs doesnt affect your brain, its the other way around. "them" is your consciousness which seriously wtf is that, can you say where it is? and isnt your consciousness ruled by your brain? so then what do we control
their brain isnt them but "them" is their brain -------------------- Little monkeys making money

what i'm saying is, my brain is part of me, my whole body is me. i would say my entire existence is my body + my soul. therefore any decision made by any piece of that = me making the decision. i dont understand how you can say "your brain makes the decision but not you"

if a decision is made and you are not aware of it and had nothing to do with the decision process (meaning no soul/self/conscious role) is it your decision? no. so then does that change simply because your brains in your head? thats how i can say your brain makes the decision not you
