"Yes I believe in a robust form of free will of the sort which can justify God torturing me for eternity if I don't do all his bidding."
Think of a GPS Navigation system. If we got a good one, we are happy to follow it because we can trust the directions given. Sure we are free to go a different route.
Now consider this. Suppose one-day a computer was invented that knew everything. It knew you so well that you could ask it what should I do next and it will tell you. Would you not be wise to follow its advice?
God has given free will to take His advice and become like Him or go our own way.
Well maybe if i lacked direction or just had no clue at all. Then a steady source of rules might be just the ticket.
