Just gave it to you.

The government gives you the free will on deciding to smoke or not, you're not forced one way or the other, correct? However you are not free to exercise your right to smoke anywhere you desire, you are held accountable by laws.

Congratulations on missing the point spectacularly.

The government doesn't give free-will - we have it in our natural state. As in, if there was no government, we'd still have the freedom to smoke or not to smoke. The government - therefore - infringes upon that freedom in order to safegurad freedom of others. But then, the government never said that they wouldn't violate our free will.

Similarly, even if the baloney about Christ and god was true, then the freedom to choose Christ wouldn't need to be "given" - that's a choice we'd automatically have. That, as well as all the other choices possible. So, if you say that your god only allows us that one choice, then it means he is violating our free will in every other choice.

See above. It shouldn't be my job to tell you what other Christians think - you should do some reasearch on your own. Nevertheless, I have done so.
