You're haven't made any argument contradicting what i just said. You're only repeating yourself.
Where else can our conversation go? It fell down to
"I believe I have free will"
"Maybe you only think you have free will but are in fact have every action controlled by God (or whoever)"
I gave my reasons for why I thought I had free will, but you never countered them. That is, no accountability, plus the fact that I reflect upon my actions and don't feel forced. There is no way I can prove that there isn't an entity forcing me to think I'm in control when I'm not (that I know of), and that ends that topic there. I'd basically have to bring God down and have him tell you that he is not in fact controlling my actions. I don't think God makes house calls so I'm stuck.
And as for the other one
"I believe we are givers of emotions as well as recievers"
"Ya well, what if we are just recivers?"
How can I respond to that? To refute you, I'd have to show somehow that I can ignore an emotion tossed at me or at least commit an action contrary to what I should commit if I was to reflect that emotion, and there's no way I can do that as there are tons of minute factors, and I can't list or even begin to account for each one. There'd have to be some kind of super-controlled labratory experiment, because otherwise all you'd have to say is, "Well gathering the environment and other factors it's only natural that your response to cheerfulness was to ignore it".
And you never answered my question, if we are just reflects of emotion, where are the sources of this emotion. God? Emotion isn't just an energy without a source. Which I reasked because you didn't answer it either time.
I don't know enough philosphy/science to prove that I control my actions and generate emotion, all I can tell you is that I reflect upon my actions and it feels as if I am making conscious decisions to show emotions and do actions. If there is some other way to go about defending my side, I don't know what it is.
