our needs and desires are quite minimal, most people tend to go pretty overboard, how much do you really need?

It depends on your goals...Ideas require money to make them reality in most cases...You can't paint a portrait without money for supplies, so the greater your imagination, the more resources you need to acquire...

Re: Do you believe in Free Will?
I question Free Will because it seems as though one could believe that we are in full control of our own lives and, by the same token, are not. Which one is it?
 Quoting: Alex75


2 Peter 3
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.


God already KNOWS every single soul who
will be Redeemed by the Blood of Jesus.

He exists in ETERNITY.
He sees it all, He knows it all.

Not only EVERYTHING that WILL happen,
EVERYTHING that COULD happen.

He still deals with us IN TIME, where we are
trapped. WE HAVE THE CHOICE to do good or evil,
to seek God, or reject Him, to repent or rebel.

If we were like robots without the ABILITY
to choose our own path, God would be UNJUST
for punishing us for things beyond our control.

Re: Do you believe in Free Will?
There are those who think that life
Has nothing left to chance
With a host of holy horrors
To direct our aimless dance

A planet of playthings
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
“The stars aren’t aligned –
Or the gods are malign”
Blame is better to give than receive

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose free will.

There are those who think that
They were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren’t born in Lotus-Land.

All pre-ordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can’t pray for a place
In Heaven’s unearthly estate

Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt
That’s far too fleet…

Re: Do you believe in Free Will?
Gravity, defined as being mutual mass attraction, is bullshit.

Relative density, and a "downward" bias in direction, created by the electrostatic gradient from the positive sky, to the negative earth, accounts for what people call "gravity."

Therefore, Coulomb's law and the law of universal gravitation are described by identical formulas?

Look at it this way. We have the ability to kill or kill ourselves, so anything in between is possible...That's a lot of free will and control of thyself...

Re: Do you believe in Free Will?
I believe we have free will but only on a higher plane / dimension of existence i.e. the soul has free will but chooses to limit itself in a mortal finite body. Relatively speaking, there's evidence from our environment that free will does not exist, because we are causal organisms reacting and perpetuating a series of ideas and acts. So again relatively I truly wonder why the free will philosophy/belief is so prevalent when it's so obvious we don't have free will.

Free will means exactly one thing.. YOU CAN THINK... NOthing more.. nothing less.. even if you are in prison.. you can still THINK right?
