Dogma says that there is free will in heaven as well as here.
Our first example of free will here was in Eden.
We all know what happened to A & E the very first time they did their will and not God’s will.
God threw a sissy fit all over A & E, the whole world and all of us with original sin.
This I think shows clearly that the free will God offers is -----Do things my way or burn forever. That is the dictates of a tyrant who does not give free will at all but one who demand that his will always be done by all of us. Slavery.

That is it in a nut shell with most atheists. They do not want God to have authority over them in any way. Sorry folks but you have authority over you all you life. You pay taxes if you want to or not, or go to jail. You do it God's way or you go to hell. What's the big deal? God is going to give you everything for eternity. He is our Father, and what father does not delight in the love shown to him by his children. My heart melts when my grand kids crawl all over me and tell me they love me. God looks at his kids the same way. He does not want any to perish, but he will do what he has to do if we force his hand. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all can come to the knowledge of the truth. If you hate and disrespect him, he will simply write you out of his will. It does not matter how much trash talking is passed between believers and non believers, God will have the final say in the matter. God has many children to choose from in order to rebuild his kingdom. He is a great environmentalist, he will burn his trash.
Free will. Sorry but it is not a license to break the law. Atheist are exercising their free will right now. So are Christians. God has given us all that right. What is stopping you from repenting and coming home to your Father? Ever heard the parable of the prodigal son. You know my son was lost but now is found. Slay the fatted calf for him and let’s celebrate his return. I exercised my free will when I repented and turned away from my putrid life style, and then came back home to my Father. I exercised my free will before then and lived in a sin cesspool. You my friend have the free will to do what ever you choose the rest of your natural life. Your free will choices will determine you eternal future no matter what you may think about God. You can mock him and hate any thought of him as you please, but one day you will stand before him and give him an account of your past life. Unintelligent matter did not create you, God did. He is the final authority no matter if you like it or not. I use to thing that hell was unfair because I knew that I was not living right. I no longer have that problem. God would have been absolutely just if he had allowed me to perish outside of his saving grace. I am absolutely delighted he gave me a second chance. Just saying.
When you get to heaven thank god for me for making me not batshit crazy, please. I'd thank him personally, but I don't talk to imaginary friends.
I am a fag-loving, fornicating, blaspheming, godless mother of little secular children, who holds the hands of little christian girls while they're having abortions (for a living)... and a stripper!
If your god, your version of heaven exists, then I'll take hell. I can laugh about all this because I am reasonable enough to see it's bullshit. Fuck, I love my life.
