  • Is free will an illusion?
    human-avatar Maimonides strongly disagrees and says:
    Free will is granted to all men. If one desires to turn himself to the path of good and be righteous, the choice is his. Should he desire to turn to the path of evil and be wicked, the choice is his. [...] There is no one who can prevent him from doing good or bad. A person should not entertain the thesis held by the fools among the gentiles and the majority of the undeveloped among Israel that, at the time of a man's creation, The Holy One, blessed be He, decrees whether he will be righteous or wicked. source Unverified
