What is stopping you from doing whatever you want?

In this world every human is given free will and can do whatever they like with it. That means you can kill, rape, rob, and destroy. I mean because of society only are we punished in life. We do anything that is seen as against “the law” and a price has to be paid. Why? If we have free will doesn’t that mean we can do whatever. Yes and No. The only reason I can find is the prescence of a “outside’ source (ie. God). Some may think  - ‘Well here’s another asshole trying to get me to believe in the man in the sky.’, but what should I care what you believe. What’s it gonna do for me. Nothing. I would be the same off if I chooose to not do it. Going back to the freewill thing, though. I think (and this is just my opinion) that because of a basic human fear of the unknown (in this case the mystery of death) we all don’t do bad things, because we fear consequences. Even the most ardent of Athiests can attest to this fear. I’m not saying they fear, but I think they see many people who have this fear. It’s one thing that holds people back from just going berserk and desemating the Earth. Now what exactly is there to be afriad of? Well simple put, it’s God and the devil. I mean even one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is “fear of the Lord”. So i guess it’s sorta important to believers. I mean just think all the bad things you’ve done in your life. Now think of all the good things. Which can you think more of? Well if you know what the answer is then you tell me if you’ve used your free will. That is exactly why there is evil in the world, as Plantinga’s sorta put it. So the next time you feel restained and oppressed, just think you can do whatever you want, literally. Don’t go blaming anyone else though (like God) if you see evil in the world. That’s just how someone else is using their free will.

So what’s your opinion?
