I would say however, that the original posters opening statement would at least be rejected under the heading of "Free Will" by theism. If I was playing devils advocate - I would be saying that God gives us the choice to Sin, and the point isn't what God can make you do, but rather that God allows you the choice too, merely that he's going to kick your ass later for using the free will he gave you.
