@ OP:
First, as was already mentioned (I believe by MFM), free will in context of religion is generally referring to moral free will. This is/should be so obvious that people don't bother with qualifiers regarding swimming in the desert or flying like superman.
Second, this moral free will does not need to be (and in fact isn't) absolute in extent. God can and does overrule people at times, but if they've been given some free choices in their lives, they can be justly judged on those choices.
