According to your beliefs, there is no God, therefore there is no soul, therefore there is no free will. We humans are merely automatic meat machines who believe whatever our brain chemistry programs us to believe. So blogging makes as much sense as debating with a Hello Barbie doll.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/20/magazine/barbie-wants-to-get-to-know-your-child.html<br /><br />Would you spend time explaining philosophy to a Hello Barbie? torahphilosophyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543965022243918943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754002607205877740.post-2733538303280797562016-01-11T06:51:56.217+01:002016-01-11T06:51:56.217+01:00@ Jacob Stein - This is not about if atheist lie. ...@ Jacob Stein - This is not about if atheist lie.
