haha, that dude on southpark was actually a real atheist/agnostic dude?
It's funny how some stuff hits you backwards......like watching the southpark episode mocking 300, then watching 300 a couple weeks later for the first time.
The stuff on us not actually having free will and it pertaining to the ego...good stuff man, awesomely logical.
quick thing on the "god being a product of our ego" thing, isn't it still possible that that's what god wanted us to think, like....taking it to another level of abstractness.
Like....God tells us we can't fully comprehend him, what if he does exist, and some of what the bible tells us he's just "feeding us" what he wants us to hear? Possibly like a cruel joke, like God's this dude that just sits somewhere looking at all of us, people he created in a universe/world he created, laughing at us cuz most of us don't get the fact that we think we're being judged on something we have independent control over.
Oh and something else on the free will thing, isn't it possible our reasons for the choices we make are just partially due to environmental influence, like a percentage thing? Cuz yeah I can see how our brain biology is such that............man, even now I can feel my ego trying to convince me that I sure as hell do have some kind of free will....like it won't let me not accept that.
Could a free will derive itself from something non biological? like a soul of it existed? |
