Nevertheless, if I asked you and a Calvinist whether or not there there was such a thing as "free will" you would both answer in the affirmative. Despite your ideas of what free will actually is being mutually exclusive, this gives the appearance of agreement. Differences that make no difference, so I am told.

Yes, I stand corrected. I should amend my previous statement and say that Calvinists believe God does not choose our choices for us, but instead limits the choices we can make. Like children in a playpen, there are only so many toys in our grasps. The difference between Christians and atheists is the play pen they find themselves in! They are free to choose the toys in reach, but not free to choose the pen they're in!
