    To make a truth claim you will need free will to think critically and rationally otherwise any argument you make for determinism would be determined and you have no way to verify or falsify if your argument is a truth claim or not. So, when someone that denies free will is ensuring that they were forced to do it and that you cannot make choices or actions based on logic and reason.
    What is your opinion about this issue?

    I believe in causal determinism. Every action we take have direct consequences. Every action we take is a direct consequence of a previous action. Do we voluntarily make decisions on our free will? The thoughts that run through our head are what they are because of what we have experienced in the past from external influences.
