God's judgement and Determinism

I think the argument would be that if you went against it then you really weren't taught ot be good. That what it seems to be to me.

I don't think this accounts for everything.You have some control over what parts of you personality are expressed. The whole nature vs demeanor thing. Also, you have a choice in how you behave that is independent of your personality. We are not at the whim of our urges. We can choose to behave in a way that goes against what comes naturally, or go against how we are compelled to behave.Of course you could just push it back to going against the compulsion is the behavior you have no control over. But it is counter intuitive to me.It certainly seems like I am choosing the behavior I exhibit.Of course, that doesn't prove that I am. But I think its going to be hard to convince me that I'm not.

Well, if the teacher is teaching at A squared plus B squared equal the square root of C, then it is the teachers fault.What if the parents taught the child to be bad? Assuming you have ample time between the exam and the class to make sure what the teacher taught was correct.

If you boil a pot of water, the molecules will move all over the place. If time is stopped they will be in some arrangement.If you then rewind time, and start the boiling again and then pause it at the same time as before, the atoms will not neccessarily end up in the same arrangement. This is because the molecules move about via a random walk. Not everything in the universe is deterministic.

Its been discussed before. There's not going to be any profound impact. Read this.Your idea is nothing new.People will still be held accountable for their actions.

You shouldn't cross posts like that. Amatuers unlike Ringo and I will get confused. Its better to reply to just one post in each reply, especially when you are replying to a specific post. I know that. I'm just saying there will not be a profound impact. Who the hell knows!?

It seems that our conciousness, self awareness, and ability to foresee possible outcomes to our actions, removes the determinism from those actions and puts the choice into our own hands. In other words, consciousness allows for free will.

If my consciousess doesn't influence that material world, then how are those glasses of alcohol going to get drank?This doesn't mean that the materistic world has no influence, tho.You really, honestly, think that whether or not I decide to drink those 5 glasses was predetermined before I considered it?
