I'm okay with that. I'll take my opinion being a "faint and dying whisper" (feeling poetic, eh?) and be happy that I have the satisfaction of being right.
Actually that is a paraphrase of some quotes from scripture. Note that even the winds of time are not eternal only God is. As for your satisfaction it soon will be like your opinon "gone" and God will still exist, He will exist long after everyone and their opinions of Him are gone.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
