External factors determine the stakes of your choices. The choice is yours

    I choose to be as honest as possible because I have seen how much harm can come from falsehoods.

    Honestly, there is zero evidence for free will. Zero evidence for god. Zero evidence for miracles. Zero evidence for souls. Etc.

    You choose the dishonest path of asserting conclusions despite lacking evidence. You see what you want to see and pretend it is true, at everyone's expense.
