    “By contrast, forgiveness of self and of others are highly robust predictors of psychological wellbeing and healthier relationships.”

    Luke 6:37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

    One does not need to deny free will to forgive.

          Prove it. Can you even define it? It’s a bullshit excuse to make us feel guilty about things we did not choose.

                  No, it’s proof that you typed “no”, presumably because you’re so heavily invested in your identity as a catholic person that you thought typing “free will exists” is proof that it exists.

                  It is not. Your brain, a physical thing, decided to do that.

                    External factors determine the stakes of your choices. The choice is yours
