Too many people confuse free will with religious bullshit, when free will is just the free will to choose your own path.
Well, you're free to employ your will in choosing one particular path among many...though who/what claims the act of choosing, within the limits of any contingently possible set of paths, as being 'free'. Alas, you're not free from not choosing a path. Paradoxically, 'you' (as a continuum, non static process) are a commingling of the paths you choose and the one's you reject ...as such you'll freely-determine all possible future state of affairs....as per a incidental will.
