OK.

Wait... I thought you don't believe in free will?

To me it really appears you do believe in free will.
When one doesn't believe, one would need a proof that the phenomenon which many people (especially philosophers and the religious apologetics) call "free will" even exists. Not the vice versa. Only a believer, by definition, believes in something without a proof.

- richk449 7y agoIt’s not worth worrying about. If there is no such thing as free will, there is no point in trying to do anything (such as carefully choosing words to be consistent with the non-existence of free will). For simplicity, might as well live my life and post on internet forums as if there is free will.
