Then how are they messing with your mind if you understand them?

What an interesting thread for me to revive years later XD. I have always believed in free will, now whether we always know what’s best for us, well, that’s a learning curve of a path, and ever-changing.

personally i don't mind if an omnipresent and omniscient being knows my every move :3 As someone who doesn't know what it's like to be either of those things, i can't judge them knowing my future in the same guise as I would if @Sparklefan1234 knew my every move (maybe he does :3)

that said, even if they know, i do not feel the burden of pointlessness when i make decisions. i make them for me and i decide what im doing. i do believe in free will uwu

Free will is a concept that makes no sense. All of your decisions are determined by various stimuli including your genetics and hormones. To say that something within you could somehow go against those stimuli in some kind of vacuum is completely illogical.

I think it’s more about taking responsibility for your actions. Everything happens for a reason as it may ties to your karma and karmic energy like a single thread to your soul..guiding it to where supposed to be.

Free will makes perfect sense. It gives each person the ability to direct their own lives and either do (or not do) certain things. We can have our lives dictated by physical impulses or we can take control of our existence by exercising our free will to do what we choose. There is nature, but nature is what humans were put on this earth to overcome. We all know right from wrong and good from bad, even if the weakness of our own human nature makes it difficult to overcome more animalistic impulses. 

And even though God may know what our lives will entail, it doesn't mean WE do. It's all a matter of seeing what we're made of and learning through our successes and failures in the course of it. Experiencing life is a very effective education, even when it's difficult.
