Or it’s FSM's will that you be a moral agent with free will, and you are culpable for your choices. You also have the difference between FSM's will, in what he desires and in what he permits.

RAmen

"For the only way to eternal glory is a life lived in service of our Lord, FSM; Verily it is FSM who is the perfect being the name higher than all names, king of all kings and will bestow upon us all, one day, The great reclaiming" -The Prophet Boiardi-

Conservative trigger warning.
