Does intuition favor God's existence?

Odeon and I are making jokes, because I said it was funny when people psychoanalyze god; now we're also psychoanalyzing jesus.

Now there's a guy who would benefit from therapy. Can you imagine the issues? An authoritarian dad and an absent mum. No peers to play with. Dad always busy working.

Always found it interesting the bible omits Jesus' adolescence and young adult years completely, possibly an extremely troubled and rebellious youth, best forgoten.

Probably got in with a bad crowd and terrorised his immediate neighbourhood.

Can you imagine Jesus the 6-yo? "My dad is stronger than your dad."

I'm listening to rap
And I'm high

so naturally I imagined Jesus just taking up a pose, before moving his hands mechanically, his feet, for then to breakdance to everyones astonishment, complete control, total attitude, just, uh-uh move-move yeah

weed for everyone!

ha-ha ya'll have free will dear ones...Jesus didn't go around hitting folks over the head with a Torah...the religious freaks of his day did that enough as it was...just as it is today, not much changes as far as people go pushing xyz onto others, when they fail to realize that yea free will etc...some say 'the xyz made me do it' uh no you chose to do 123 largo one, even to be brainwashed one chooses to (scary enough) yield there minds and themselves over to brainwashing...but I digress...

Last I checked God wanted spiritual fruit not a religious nut...  

ps. I want those boots they sound rad

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. ~Mark 16:15

No I don't.

No I don't, and telling me I do wont change it. I don't have free will to believe something I don't believe, just like I can't disbelieve something I do believe. That's the thing with believing something, the believing part. It's nonsense to tell me otherwise. 

[ZEGH8578]

Free will is not a factual given, but a faith-based concept.

In science, the whole idea is rickety, because of how much of human behaviour that is driven by all kinds of pre existing impulses (many of them hormonal, ALL of them automatic). A complete understanding of human behavioral mechanics renders the idea of "free will" almost moot. Free will becomes "whatever your circumstances allow your will to approach"

[Gopher Gary]

Of course free will is a faith based concept. 

[Jack]

Of course free will is a faith based concept. 

More likely the opposite. Made this point not long ago with Calandale. There's no free will in the bible. The bible is easier interpreted as god to be sovereign, the creator of both good and evil, with the believers being chosen, and god intentionally sending a delusion to those who don't believe.

[ZEGH8578]

It doesn't have to be Christian to be faith-based.

By faith I mean you have to believe in free will. It's not like believing in something tangible, like the moon, or cars, "free will" is fleety and difficult to pinpoint.

We tend to see a large selection of options as evidence of free will, yet everyone picks a single option each time they act, that option is normally picked without much consideration, it simply follows your usual pattern, which in turn is a result of a series of interactions with ones environment. As your options decrease, so does the freedom of your will
If I tie someone to a chair, their freedom is limited and their will is powerless. They're gonna have to adjust their will to something they can achieve :]
I'm rambling now, point is, "free will" is like "art" or "meaning of life", it is a philosophical concept

Yeah, I was just being a smartass.
