If I am not free to decide right and wrong for a moral dilemma that I encounter, do I really have free will? I realize that I can choose what action to take but I can't choose whether I think it's right or wrong? Someone tell me where I'm going wrong.

I don't see what the conflict is, personally. Free will doesn't mean you get to decide what is and isn't actually real. It means you get to decide on your actions.

What's real when it comes to morality? Is there something written down somewhere, where do we find these objective truths?
