聽神談【關於「自由意志」】
今日之神僅會說:「我對你們什麼都不要求。你們可以依照你們所希望的去做,我給你們自由意志。」
今日之神不會說:「你們有自由意志,除非,你不順從我要求的去做,在那情況我將永遠懲罰你。」
試問,這是哪門子的自由意志?
當你們去做「我要你們做的」那是自由嗎?
你會稱那是「自由」嗎?
摘自《重新定義神》第13章
Tomorrow's God will not have such a split personality.
Tomorrow's God will simply say, "I require nothing of you. You may do as you wish. I give you Free Will."
And Tomorrow's God will mean it. She will not say, "You have Free Will, unless, of course, you do not do as I re- quire, in which case I will punish you forever."
What kind of Free Will is that?
You're free to do what I want you to do?
Would you call that freedom?
