Here's a thought for the day . . . I spent quite a bit of time this morning pondering this from the comfort of my bed.
Is the conscience a catalyst, a result, or an obstruction of Free Will?
Catalyst - The fact that we have a conscience could be what allows us to have free will - because without a conscience, free will would create chaos.
Result - If we have free will, we may choose that we don't want to do something because it is wrong. Conscience & free will are both logical creatures . . . our awareness of our free will could create the conscience. Guilt is a product of awareness.
Obstruction - We are smart enough to know when we want something. Fortunately (or unfortunately) we also know what it right & what is wrong. Our conscience may keep us from doing something that we want to do - that takes away from free will.
Can it be more than one? Can it be all three?
