Also how can you argue for objective morality and free will? How can the answer to a moral dilemma be predetermined but afford me the free will to form my opinion?

A person can have the free will to believe whatever they want about things like rape, murder, slavery, etc. But it doesn't mean they will not be horribly incorrect if they believe those things are good.

You couldn't believe those things are good if morality is objective, because the right and wrong would be inherent.
