[QUOTE="childeye 2, post: 77667602, member: 412375"] Well, I notice you're using free will as an adverb when you say, "A free will decision" which is typically written as "freewill", rather than the noun which is depicted by "free will". This effectively turns the decision level into a "voluntary" decision which is denoting a certain type of decision that is more likely circumstantial, and therefore not necessarily willed by desire. Yes, I'm saying the desire to act or to not act is based on deterministic causal processes in the moral/immoral purview. That is to say, I don't believe the moral/immoral choice/decision ever qualifies as voluntary because as a prerequisite one must acknowledge that the choice of action/inaction will affect others either positively or negatively. It's the same as saying there's a reason some actions/inactions are right, and some actions/inactions are wrong based on knowing some actions/inactions cause comfort and some actions/inactions cause discomfort. I don't believe we can volunteer to be cruel, and I don't believe we can volunteer to feel compassion. [/QUOTE]
