Q TLAP Q2 2. According to Swinburne, “A God who gives humans free will necessarily brings about the possibility, and puts outside his own control, whether or not that evil occurs.” from what you know about how your own free will works, do you agree with Swinburne? That is, when you choose to do something good, do you always feel the possibility of doing evil? Could you imagine yourself ever feeling free to choose what is good without also feeling you could choose evil?

Free will essentially means the ability to do “good” as well as “bad”. Swinburne argues that when God is giving free will then there is always the scope of both good and bad to take place. To be honest, I feel the possibility of doing evil. But we live in a civilized society governed by rules and law which does not allow us to do as we please. If we do something wrong there are repercussions and legal consequences. The desire to do good or evil essentially depends on the moral compass of the individual. T
