if there's no free will ten you cannot make a decision based on things you have no control over. see where your logic failed, you claimed a decision was made

I'm describing what people typically refer to as a decision.

Yes it does.
I'm not saying there's a purpose, but you can't change the future.
Basically why I made this thread to discuss all possible ideas equally. All I know is I know nothing but I fucking love talking/thinking about ideas no matter how absurd.
If free will isn't real at all why did I seem to gain more of between the ages of 11-13. Before then I seemly had no free will. I look at it like I could really be anybody. I just so happen to be me. So really I have had no control over my life up until I made that realization. After the realization is made though can I now assert more control over my situation then before? Which brings into question can a process ever be "truly" random or does it only appear to be random because we lack information about the process.
Here's a video explain randomness in a flatland 2d universe. It's a fun thought experiment.

God doesn't exist, either. Not sure where you're trying to go with this..

I had a realization one time on LSD that I'm god. Doesn't mean its true.
I'll watch the vid when I get home tho

I never said you couldn't describe any of those. 
The ability of abstract thought =/= free will

For the sake of my sanity, continue referring to them as decisions. Just know that you don't have a choice in the decision, and you couldn't have made a different one.
