A complete oxymoron. How do you have "free will" believing in a belief system?
|
So you're saying that people who have believe in a belief system have no free will? Wow, lol, then what are trying to convince them of, since they don't have free will to change their minds? I guess this thread was really intended for people who already agree with you, since only they have free will?

The bolded bit, I think this is the thing which Infinitethoughts and in the larger sense, Steve, are warning against - belief systems that trap you into a certain way of thinking.

I would like some clarification about how the bolded part and this quote tie together, or how the bolded bit is supposed to demonstrate this point. They seem unrelated to me.

could it not be that that statement is based on a belief?

Every statement is based not only on a belief, but on a whole system of beliefs that develop out of our experience with the world. I guess I don't understand how this statement of the obvious has developed into an entire thread topic.
