| Even if free will does not exist, for all practical purposes , we act like it does, by our perception.

| It seems odd that you would go through many lives yet remember none of them. How pointless! If one had past lives that one could not remember. And in one's next life, one would never remember this one. The old you is gone anyway. There is no continuity, and for all practical purposes , there'd be n... |

| Hey, hey, hey..... nitpicky about terms here. What you are calling certainty that is "evil and intolerant" are rigid and inflexible moral and political views forced upon others, but for those kinds of things there are just policies and codes of ethics, but no certainty in the sense of descriptive tr... |
