Free Will

I believe you have free will and if you ask I must retreat to the philosophical irony that We are predetermined to have free will, but the Christian must say "of course we have free will, God demands it."

It is like a heavenly North Korea where we must be obliged to a heavenly dictator and I am so glad that such a system does not exist.

    The property of free will is different from how that property is used.

    We should just get a bunch of blog commenters together and debate Hitchens.

    How do I have free will to believe anything--including the claims of atheism or theism--if my thoughts are determined by blind physical forces? I would love to hear Hitchens explain this.

    I like how Hitchens tries to connect Free Will to the North Korean rocket launch tonight.
