[QUOTE="Chesterton, post: 71463030, member: 225709"] On the importance of free will - it's not just something we have, it's what we are. We [U]are[/U] wills, we [U]are[/U] agents. Humans have a lot in common with other kinds of matter, with rocks and trees and animals, but it's this that sets us apart. Asking God to constrain our wills is like asking God to destroy us as humans, to make us something we're not, like kitchen appliances where you just push a button and they do what they're "supposed" to. So will is not just an important thing, it's everything. [/QUOTE]
