Default Re: free will and god poll

[ QUOTE ]

But it is completely irrational for theists to believe free will exists.

are you sure? elaborate.
i don't follow- since, intuitively, the opposite seems true

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed, the opposite is true. Unless of course you meant to say that theists who believe in free will are irrational. This is redundant as any theist already qualifies as irrational.

On the other hand, the notion of Free Will is heavily linked to religions. Most religions say Free Will exist. And the supernatural belief in a God is of the same category as the supernatural belief in Free Will. So it is to be expected that an irrational person who believes in a personal God also believes in Free Will. Especially since included in their delusion is the notion that this God 'told them that He had granted them Free Will.
