There has to be an opposite for agency to exist.
Not so. What is the opposite of sweet. The opposite of a dog? the opposite of electromagnetism? False dichotomies and further fallacies will not be accepted
1. Bitter 2. Cats 3. Electromagnetism itself is a set of opposite attarctions: Positive and negative electrons.
If God said no matter what you choose to do youll be happy, you'd have no free will. Because it's the consequences that create free will, not the initial choices.
So, you contend that it is the coercion that makes the choice meaningful? if I put a gun to your head, does that make your choice to suck my dick meaningful or is the 'choice' negated by the fact that you really had no choice and did so under duress? Come over and let's try...
No, I am saying there is no coercion.
And I wouldnt suck your dick if you did have a gun to my head. Even if I was into that type of thing, I dont have the time or patience to find it. Go ahead and shoot me.
As I have just illustrated, there very much is a choice. The only thing you've really illustrated is you would make a different choice than I would in a similiar situation.
