no. stop.

if you're not religious, then the matter of free will doesn't matter, because there's not a moral question attached to it. maybe it's biology, maybe it's not. who cares?

it only matters if you're religious, and the religion is supposed to be about free will.

so, if the purpose of pretending that we don't have a choice is to appease religious idiots, it's just a pointless contradiction, which is probably why this approach doesn't actually work very well - if they were to actually accept the premise, they'd have to abandon their religious principles in the first place, so why not just tell them to discard their religious beliefs and be done with it?

to tell me i don't have a choice is preposterous, and fuck you for trying to do it.
