Would you have a choice in not killing someone if a gun was put to your head coercing you to do so? Yes or no.I dont care what you think, I gave my opinion and you neener and cant stop. Especially prudent, because this conversation is for folks who take the bible literally and not for ding.But it absolutely is free will, GT, because you could choose death.Thats exactly where we differ in what we consider free will.Such that you would not have a choice in killing them because you were coerced?No, Im saying that choice and free will are different, conceptually, because there exists such a thing as coercion which alters the balance of freedom of choice in the favor of the assailant by use of a threat.So you are saying that if someone put a gun to your head and ordered you to kill someone else, you would have no choice in killing them?
You are making it directly akin to having a choice.
Im introducing the fact that an outside force using a threat to make you choose a certain way that theyd like, or else, is a choice but is no longer free will.
Just because you don’t like the choices does not mean you didn’t have a choice.
You are literally arguing the definition of fatalism.
And for ding to say that his opinion is that the bible isnt literal, doesnt magically erase that literalists exist
And this question was posed to the folks who believe that, literally. Not an argument for ding and not an argument if ding thinks the bible is literal or not.
