No No,

The honest atheist will tell you that “Free will” is an illusion.

From Dawkins, Dennet, Sam Harris and William Provine.

I have contemplated the question of “free will” for many years. It’s at the heart of the debate.

I guess they would. They lack faith and without faith it would seem but an illusion to them. But free will is there, they just refuse to reach for it.

God gave us ALL free will, I have faith and I want more than swimming around with my water wings in the shallows of the mind. I find everything with God.

Matthew 5:45

45 that ye may be the children of your Father who is in Heaven. For He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
