Yeah I know, it is kind of silly to make up your own meanings to words.

To be sure, when talking to Christians, I usually say "Free will doesn't exist". But it is shorter than saying "the decision making process in our mind". So when I talk with other agnostics, I am usually careful to first define what I mean by "free will", before saying I "believe in it".

The first time I posted on this thread (here) I said the exact same thing. First I defined free will as the decision making process, then I said I believe in it.

Maybe my explanations are a bit confusing. But I don't know how to make my ideas any more clear.
