To Believe in 'Free-will' is to Violate Right

obvious made obvious

There is no such thing as choice and believing there is is belief in a lie, therefore lazy.

It IS obvious with consideration because it IS true. You can only be your experience- what would be perceived as a choice is only your experience reacting to the now--- this does actually mean everything- it means that pride IS a fallacy and that fear IS NOT real- it means that you are perfect with perfect integrity and immortal because you can't kill love.

Our greatest fear is not knowing if passion can exist without anger- have no doubt--- also knowing that we don't 'do right' because of reward...

in absolute forgiveness because there is only me,

love

i will choose free will

if there is no such thing as choice, then i cannot help but believe in free will, since it wasnt up to me to believe in it in the first place. so, your post was, in effect, pointless.

you offered no real arguments against free will, anyway. and since the concept of free will is innate (ie. most people believe they make choices for themselves), the burden of proof is on determinists, not existentialists.

love.
