Re: Prediction Doesn't Interfere With Free Will
Your mistaken. Atheists are also bound by the law.
Bound how?
I choose to follow, or not, the laws of my nation and state. I in no way have ever felt bound by them or any religious laws. If I am not breaking some of them it is not because I feel bound by them, it's because it is simply the right way to act. How can I be bound by laws I am not even familiar with.
Lam, this would probably make an interesting discussion. Why don't you want to start a topic on it? Do it in coffee house if nothing else. As you have already listed much of this in the WTC topic it should be easy....just cut and paste and explain why an Atheist would be also bound by these laws or show how these laws were adopted into our modern legal systems.

I guess if you mean bound as that I will be punished for breaking laws of my nation/state, then yes, I am bound by those laws. In no way am I bound by any religious laws, I have probably broke many biblical laws pertaining to food, could care less...who is going to punish me?

Re: Prediction Doesn't Interfere With Free Will
Hi NN,
False witness means something like perjury
Maybe in a court of law.
The term "false witness' could be construed to mean many things depending on your point of view. I feel it means telling any lie for any reason. Is it illegal to lie, or just lie in court? Is there an agreed upon meaning to the term " False witness" ?
