Make a conscious choice. Decide to move your index finger. Too late! The electricity's already halfway down your arm. Your body began to act a full half-second before your conscious self 'chose' to, for the self chose nothing; something else set your body in motion, sent an executive summary - almost an afterthought - to the homunculus behind your eyes.

It was not the thought that God was cruel that froze me. I had taught myself never to expect anything from Him.

No," I said.

Yes, sir," I said.
And I moved on. — Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
