Humans are free to do what they want, without this freedom there could be no morality. In such a case, no basis for what could be deemed as good or bad behavior in the eyes of a God because without freewill we would just be pre-programmed unable to change or alter what has already been laid out in front of us. There are only two things certain in each one of our lives, we live, and then we die, everything in between is up to the individual.
Hard determinism only clouds the mind if we are enslaved to thinking we are free, then those who believe that they have no control over life are going through life making decisions based on what they perceive as pre-determined. To say we have a path set for us is to make us no more than a robot, and because robots cannot discuss topics intelligently and cannot act intelligently in situations proves that theory wrong.
We all have identity each human individual is unique even twins are different. Our minds are just as unique as our fingerprints, and to suggest that life is just a puzzling network of intertwining minds that cause interactions and event between certain individuals throughout life is pr

Without a mind we have no life. Yet without parts of the body we can still posses a mind, and without parts of the mind we lose parts of our life. So both the mind and body need each other in both respects so that each may function to full potential exposing us to all of life’s experiences.
To say life is nothing but a pre-written script to which we all
