I have had free will since birth. Being raised fundamentalist, I was brainwashed for a while into thinking that there was this judgmental invisible guy watching me all the time, and if I didn't dust my furniture the way mommy wanted, he would put this black mark into some book. If I dared to question the wholly babble, he would send me to hell to fry forever after I died. Pre-destination and "god's will for us" and "god's plan" were a little more intimidating for a child - - that ridiculous thread of "god created you for a reason" crap.
Realizing that there is no god, no hell, and no ongoing judgment of my every action simply returns me to the state I should have been in all along: simply "me" and much less fearful.
