A Conversation for The Problem of Free Will

Belief isn't living

I believe that free will doesn't exist.
This does not mean that I live my life without forming decisions or taking chances because I believe that these decisions are predestined.

Surely therefore there should be made a difference between Believing in a system, and letting the consequences of that system dominate your life.

That probably made no sense whatsoever

Made perfect sense here.

Just the same as someone might believe there is no God, but still go to the church for marriages and funerals.

Made sense to me too. Predestined though, that is a big word. I don't believe that I have free will, but I do believe I control my decisions.
