I don't believe in a higher being. Mainly because there is no proof of a such thing. But if we assume that everything that happens happens randomly then we still wouldn't have a free will. The will would be random.


I was just saying for an example, higher being was just an example for something that "Determines" events.

But what makes things happening by random be against free will? Shouldnt random occurrances be a result of free will itself or are you saying that random things happen for a reason? I am confused o.o?

For an example me bombarding you with random theories and questions, it is random, though I doubt it was pre-determined by something. It was a decision I made, I could of went and played Persona 3 Portable while rendering my Earthbound videos but I chose to stay here and post because it was my free will to do so o.o.


It all comes down to our main views. You believe that our actions shapes the future while I believe that our actions are shaped by the past (and thus are determined, which ultimately makes the future determined as well).
