well deists I think believe God exists but doesn't do anything to interact - which I think IS similar to 'free will'
I believe a lot of crazy things, but basically God exists and plans everything and we are just the actors on the stage, but at the same time we can make choices to be nice to people or jerks, but I strongly believe against the notion that everything is up to free will

But the trick is to learn to enjoy the company of people not like you. Otherwise, I imagine life would be pretty lonely. If the only people I got along with were atheists, I would miss out on a lot of my most special friendships. If I ruled out anyone who didn't believe in a specific tenet like free will, well, then, the pool gets smaller.
Branch out! Learn to like the differences in people. There are certainly deal breakers (I can't be around evangelicals or fundies), but for the most part, life's cool when you accept all kinds.
ya i agree, honestly i get along with all kinds of people offline, but i guess for some reason everyone more outspoken about their beliefs online :S
