Byron Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 So what do you thank the entity is thats bein influenced by genes... enviroment... God an Satan... a soul assigned/givin to each body.??? The intellect is being influenced. Your mind, will and emotions. Some people (including me) call this the soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I don't know. Those are the only influences I can think of that might exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluelusshusbund Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yep... not even the soul... the last bastion for evidence of free will... goes belly up.!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Having outside influences doesn't take away your choice. In the end it's still you that decides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Ok I kind of get what your saying. As long as there is an outside influence then we don't have ABSOLUTE free will. But you sometimes have to fight those influences to make the right choice. I guess it's all in how you look at the term free will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluelusshusbund Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 As far as Inside or outside... it dont mater whare the influences are from... or even if you ant conscious of certain influences such as hormonal changes... influences are continuous... an continuously pushin you (the fight as you call it) toward the choices you eventualy make... choices which are based on the groop of influences that was the strongest at the time.!!!

Byron Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Well regardless of how strong they maybe, saying "The Devil Made Me Do It!" or "I Had No Control Over My Actions" usually won't get you out of punishment in a court of law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluelusshusbund Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 For sure... an incarceration can be necessary for the benefit of society as a whole... but all to often incarceration amounts to little more than punishment insted of rehabilitation.!!!

Spiralcannon2-CW Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 The name I list (Cammy) is my real life nickname and not my real name. I do exist in real life, though, and mostly am the same person I am online, except a bit more depressing and boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
