You're allowing a religious perspective which you oppose in order to avoid a consequence of your position which you didn't foresee and find inconvenient. Intellectual honesty is right out the window.

Intellectual honesty sure is right out the window!  I wasn't "allowing" any perspective but rather looking at the notion of free will from both perspectives in a lighthearted and not very serious manor.  Don't tell anyone this, but I didn't really kill any hookers.  That was just a joke.  Hence, the "lighthearted and not very serious" bit.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
