Makes sense... But when would we become adults? |

I want to thank you for being a part of my Forget-me-nots and marigolds And all the things that don't get old Is it legal to do this? I surely don't know. It's the only way I have learned to express myself through other peoples' descriptions of life I'm afraid I'm alone and entirely useless | |

I remember an old XKCD comic to a similar line of thought. I would present it to you, but I can't find it. Or be bothered to. Basically, this guy goes to buy a house, and is talking to a bank person about getting a mortgage, and has a sudden revelation that he stayed a teenager, and never grew up, and here he is, buying a house. Perspective. |

I'm kind of confused. I was talking about free will in general. I'm not religious, but as I see it a man should treat his god like he does his parents. Not doing anything they wouldn't do, not deserting but at the same time not clinging. Having respect and learning from them but being their own person, you know? |

We become adults when We're able to see the world from other people's side of view and can think clearly and debate without getting into a fist fight ![]() Adulthood is not about age, it is about much more than that

What if God decided that mindless robots was a good thing? |

Well, he would think that. Would he change us? I don't know. Would we have free will, then? no. |

Concolor, I think your answer is answered. If God decided that mindless robots were better, we would be mindless robots, and probably not even discussing this, because we'd be too busy kneeling, standing up, and screaming at the top of our lungs, Praise be to God. |

Interesting answer, what if God decided that torturing babies was a good thing? |

Then we'd be torturing babies. But we don't, because hey, it's not good. What if's about the fabric of universe are kind of odd, because the answer is always irrelevant, because the universe is how it is, and unchangable. More or less. |

True, but every time someone does ANYTHING, the world changes, fate changes. We could have done something else to lead to a different solution. If we make one tiny move to change something, I'm sure we could change the fabrics of the Universe, somehow, someday. |

"the universe is how it is, and unchangable" What an odd thing to say. See I have no way of knowing if the universe is changeable or not, and I would even have trouble understanding how we could ever tell. |
