Do Human Beings Have Free Will Pt 2

Free Will :
noun [mass noun]
The power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion.

Many people suffer from chronic pain. For example, in many countries pain relief medication for cancer patients is unaffordable, unavailable. Cancer patients die in terrible pain. Do they have free will to choose not to feel pain (without suicide)?

In Russia, Putin, the current owner of the country, has more choice than any other citizen. He is the only person in Russia with personal sovereignty. Could he, of his own free will, jump from the Moscow Kremlin to the Kremlin in Kazan. Could any of us, of our own free will, jump over Mount Everest.

Only one entity has free-will and that entity is (to be polite) imaginary. God/Allah/Yahweh/Jehovah has free will (and look what he's done with it). God is Omnipotent (adj. having unlimited power) though clearly lacking the courage of US president Harry Truman in having a sign on his desk stating that "The Buck Stops Here".

Only the proposed entity God has free will. God the omnipotent could choose, of his own free will, to exist and not exist at the same time.

The claim that human beings have free will is to claim human beings have power equal to God's omnipotent power, that human beings are omnipotent. Of all our hubristic claims *that* "takes the cake”, or the biscuit.

 

_____

So you ask, "Do human beings have free will?".

The Big Question

Without other lifeforms we couldn't survive; but what use to those lifeforms are we?
Instead of "Why are we here?" ask, "Of what use are humans?"
Has there been a problem not affecting the Human Race that the human race has solved but didn't cause?

It's mornings evenings nights like these

and one hazards discomforting consequences
still

something good could come of it
