Just don't dance around it and then pretend you answered it but I'm not intellectual enough to understand the answer. Yes I am in an emotionally impaired condition right now, in fact it's worsened over the last twenty minutes to the point where I'd better sign off and go to bed while I still can; however even I can spot when the Emperor has no clothes.
And on that note, and in that spirit, I really had better sign out before someone comes to grief.
Free will is removed when one's instinct for self preservation over takes their will to rebell. The indivisual will is suppressed for the sake of eternal life. which seems to be the case with everyone I have spoken with here. "In that if God only provided absolute proof I would obey." However if one does not care to live with a given deity forever and is not afraid to face destruction or eternal damnation then free will is restored.
For instance If Allah turns out to be "the God" then I (baring devine intervention) would still spit in his eye, and gladly accept my eternal fate.
