Quote Actually, Biggie seems to be defining "Free Will" as the ability to choose absent any motivation or predisposition to choose, or with equal motivations and predispositions to choose.  In which case, an electron randomly jumping quantum states has "Free Will", but nothing else.  A curious definition.  Yet in another conversation on the same subject, I came away with the definition that the motivations and predispositions are themselves "the Will".   So I'm curious as to where this will go. Cold cereal with fruit this morning.  Why did I do that? Quote I think what you are saying is the gospel, on one level, is so simple a child can understand it, but on another level it is so complex a theologian can drown in it. True, but understanding it and believing it and trusting it are different animals.  Most atheists understand the kerygma, the basic facts of the gospel, but they neither believe it nor trust it.   Thanks Joker, Its good conversing with you. I think my prior statement about choice and desire was that our choice was caused by the strongest desire ,which was determined by the minds view of  the object, whether the mind was pleased with the object more than the other object in the choice. What do you think?
