Why would anyone choose separation?
Are they of their father, the devil? In that case, did they have a choice?
Are they one of the seeds that fell among the weeds and was choked? In that case, did they have a choice?
Are they one who found their name was not written in the lamb's book of life? In that case, did they have a choice?

What constitutes human? IQ? DNA? Are mentally challenged people human? Are psychopaths? Where is the line drawn between human and animal? And why is that not an arbitrary place to draw the line?
Quote:God places a high value on freedom. He rather have free-will and evil, then no free-will and no evil.
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=KJV
