Free will or not. I still think we should punish people who do bad things. Also the very concept of “now we can forgive those who do bad things” seems like a decision to me.

I personally am 50/50 on whether free will is real or not. Since QM means there is no determinism in the universe there is a possibility that conscious beings could have some influence over the probabilities. Not saying that is the case but it’s not 100% case closed on free will. If the universe was completely deterministic then yes, but the universe is inherently random
