Quoting: Geraldgar The weird part is they seem hellbent on trying to convince autonomous free willed beings that they are not what they obviously see they are. They try to turn free willed people into NPCs. In essence they are trying to kill their souls.. very interesting indeed. Nice theory OP. have a  and fistarsmith #MAGA #KAG2020 |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 2590977 United States10/02/2019 07:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | An NPC is a name given to vendors or other code driven characters in a Massively Online Multiplayer game. It has made its way into pop culture though as well. It stands for Non Player Character meaning it isn’t a human playing that avatar rather an entity that is a robot or code driven to give you a task or something and is automated. It isn’t alive and definitely does not have freewill. |

Even if you are say in prison.. you have free will to use your mind in your daily reaction with guards and inmates. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77999315 United States10/02/2019 07:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I’ve always thought about it like this: Whether or not you have free will doesn’t make any difference in the course of events. Assume you have it. Your future choices, even if not “predetermined”, are most certainly predictable based on genetics, psychology, physics, personality, etc. You can do whatever you want, but an entity with infinite intelligence and knowledge would be able to predict with 100% certainty what choice you would make in any given situation. |

To be free means that you, and you alone, are ultimately responsible for your actions. People are willing to give up that responsibility for the comfort it gives them to be able to blame someone else for the failures. Come on and take a free ride. |

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." |
