explaining someone else's alleged BS.
He is, of course, one of the "Four Horsemen" evangelistic atheists and a strong proponent of the idea that free will is just an illusion... and yet here, he's upset about the way Trump is acting. If Trump has no free will, that makes as much sense as being upset about the way that rabbits hop. It isn't their fault that they hop that way, that is just how the random forces of the universe happened to result in the atoms arranging themselves into a rabbit, with all of a rabbit's thoughts, habits and idiosyncrasies. The same is true of Trump and everyone else and everything else in his paradigm, no?
