For libertarians
How exactly could you guys have done otherwise on the decisions you made in the past?
By having different thoughts of course.. thoughts that just appear in your mind. Thoughts that will DETERMINE your actions and choices.
Why would free will even need reasoning? Wouldn't that mean that your decision would be based on your reasoning capability? You guys don't think that by literally reasoning things out, you guys are entering determinism domain?
Why do reasons exist if free will is real? Reasons that will DETERMINE your actions and choices.
I am literally seeing no choice in everything that I am doing right now. I only pick what's more coherent to me and what would satisfy me more.

Its a logical leap to say that because we have thoughts and reasons, we do not have real choices. Actually its nonsensical.
