Observations on Do We Have Free Will....

by pompeycaulkhead @ 2009-10-28 – 23:56:01

..... Or has our existence already been planned for us by the deities?
I realise this is a bit of a heavy topic for 11-45 on a Wednesday night and that metaphysical concerns are probably the last thing on your mind. I understand that. Until half hour ago I hadn't really considered sparking a theological debate either. But at that moment I found myself in a bit of a dilemma. I was stood at the counter at my mate Kens takeaway and having to choose between his mutts nuts South African hotdogs or his equally lush cheese and bacon burgers. And as I stood and pondered, the above question popped into my head. Did I actually get a choice? Or had this one simple decision been made for me at some point before the dawn of time? Its amazing how simple theology can be when you strip it down to the bare essentials.
Well in the end I decided to risk the wrath of the celestial rulers (or maybe not. And at that time of night I was beyond caring) and went for the burger and very nice it was too. And as I walked away, merrilly chewing on this poor mans manna from heaven, another question popped into my little mind. 'Pompey you fat fuck' said a little voice 'Do you realise you are turning into Homer Simpson???'

My dear Homer,

I think that we plan our life, but I am a witch (HIHHIHAAAHAAA) I do not believe on God or Gods.

BTW: burger k. and maci are also no goods! LOL!!!!!

It is easy to give your life in other hands, like Gods or parents (if you are adult) or wifes, husbands and others.

  Thats fair enough. You make a good point about letting other people rule your life. Never understood people who do that.

Free will is the order of the day and why decide between the two? Have both! Sorted! x

We all have a little Homer inside us.. they haven't developed a procedure for removal that doesn't involve the death of the host.....

Free will? No... I believe my life will follow the course that has been decided... no matter what I wish to do, I will always follow a pre-determined route.
hang on... thats not fate... thats just marriage!

I say bollocks to a higher (or lower) being dictating my life events (other than the wife)..

  Ah but is the wife a higher or a lower power (or do you value your nuts too much to answer that!!!!!!!)

I don't believe it matters, I think there are millions of alternative realities which occur so in one you had one thing to eat and in the other you chose differently, and in another one altogether you didn't have either cos you were at the gym or having a heart attack due to being a fat fuck!!! So, it never matters which choice you make cos somewhere else a different you is making the other one x

    It'll do your head in if you think about it you know! Several shots of something suitably vile will sort it out though

DOH!
choices are difficult things it always reminds me of the sliding doors film alternative endings depending on the choices you make

PS- HOMER ROCKS!!

  They are difficult. Perhaps Mala and Milly were right and I should have guzzled both.
  
  And you are right. Cant beat a bit of Homer!!!!!!!!

I just spotted this post! we have free will

from what i understand, past, present and future as dimensions run together, side by side, there are times when we sleep we travel forward/backward in time de ja vous, it's away of being prepared for a situation or reliving something to learn.

Normal existence, whether you decide carrot cake or cheese cake at the coffee shop is entirely up to you! however we get cross roads in life, i had one afew years ago. I've had several actually, the army or office work, your choice. There is no right or wrong just a different bit of the path.

Some things are already planned, when we come here and when (depending on how you live your life, whether you indulged in drugs etc., and whether the body is knackered) you leave.

So aye free will exists I choose to be happy today I could hide under the desk but today I'm fine xxx

        Though no evidence has ever surfaced.

I have to say that when I first read this post, I thought you'd changed the hotel into a video shop and someone had come in with a specific request. Being new to the game I imagined you shouting into the back room.... "Do we have free Willy?"....

anyhooooooooooooo.........

what exactly does a Soth African hotdog consist of????... I'm pondering a purchase!

  "Do we have free Willy?"....

  A south african hotdog is a real spicy beef banger. God they are the mutts nuts!!!!!!!
