Stanford scientist, after decades of study, concludes: We don’t have free will [latimes.com]

DenoPenno comments on Oct 18, 2023:

When you think about it the idea of "free will" is based upon your education and your upbringing. I might think about that big steak I will fix tonight all day, then go home and fix something else. People pass that off as changing your mind but it is more than that. You have the free will to rape a woman if you want to and she has the free will to be raped. Maybe neither of you like those choices so you do something else. A person going to commit suicide feels that they have no other choices but if they had more money they may not think of suicide. Then again, people can often be talked out of doing something. We think this is free will but it is reasoning that changes their minds. The original idea of biblical free will came from the idea "that god wants you to worship him of your own free will." Therefore you love god and are not forced to worship him. Christian Nationalism over rode all of this in recent times. People want to beat you to death with god belief.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 13, 2023:

My situation may not be as bad as yours. In my area being homeless falls right in with drugs. There are places they can get food and these are usually run by former addicts that have "found Jesus." In local towns here that have abandoned buildings, these get burned down most likely for insurance money but the tale is that it was doper homeless people making meth. An abandoned house in my town was burned not so long ago. My take on that is local property owners did it to avoid the homeless taking it over. The city said they could do nothing about the house, so it got burned. End of problem. Well, not really. The homeless are a problem but all local residents are trying to do is introduce them to the invisible man. Such ideas are not solving the problem. Homeless people need a place to go. Some do cries and get locked up. I do not see any programs that are working to help them.

DenoPenno comments on Oct 8, 2023:

I am aware of these interpretations because of an active bible study, and I have read that book cover to cover. I cannot tell you of the teachings of Jesus because he had no contemporaries that even mention his existence. Certainly the OT would know nothing of him but preachers and apologists beg to differ. It appears to me that Jesus said and did many things, some contradictory, in the NT and later Saul of Tarsus wrote a big majority of the NT. Believers have no problem with all of this as Saul did his writings as Paul the Apostle after Jesus was dead. He did not know if he was in or out of his body as he received his teachings. A great part of the Gospels indicate why Jesus was killed and crucified but it appears this was all to "explain his death." Many of that time wanted to be Messiah but Rome would take interest in any that proclaimed "my kingdom is not of this world." Rome would see a threat, and if there was a real flesh and blood Jesus you can see why he would have been executed without mention. Christianity took off long after Jesus' death by other actors who did not live in his time frame.
