1. Were or are you ever free to deny your capacity to act in a freewill manner?
2. Do you consider forced-freewill oxymoronic?
It's rhetorical. Word salad is the point.
Freewill is simply a semantic game perpetuated by the religious in an (incoherent) effort to transcend human action from the mundane causes and effects of the universe. Human actions are therefore "special".
