“we have a free will”

I see. You can also say, “I am a genius.” And that assertion will also be met with a degree of doubt.

So, here is your MO, as I see it. You post a long article - less than convincing - written by someone else, which pushes what you want to believe. And then you scream at anyone who disagrees with you. I see no engagement of argument, no thoughtful discourse, nothing but copy+paste+scream. Is this Roman Catholic apologetics? Talk about a barren harvest.

I think the entire object of this and so many other similar exercises (some of which emanate from some of your opposite numbers) as being to offend and bash. I see no attempt to tone down emotions and and actually appeal reasonably and rationally to the “free will” that you claim exists in man, but to ratchet up emotions from the start the better to get the invective started. I see no respect, no civility.

In short, I see no seriousness of purpose ... or sincerity of purpose.

Do you think Jesus Christ in His humanity had free will.
