Spiritually speaking, even if there was free will how free is it anyway?
When people are, say, addicted to smoking is it really descriptive of the situation that they're freely choosing to continue smoking?
What does free will mean in circumstances where just being born in Ecuador will make you 95% likely to choose to become a Christian while being born in Yemen will make you 95% likely to choose to become a Muslim? If external circumstances can within 5% determine your choices for you what does it mean to say that you have a free decision?

By definition.... Free Will, free choice, is when you can accept something or reject it without fear of penalty or hope for reward.
Free will is the old bullshit stand-by when Christians try to explain the silly notion of God’s omnipotence. They say “God knows what we are going to do but we have a choice anyway.”
With Free Will the Christian god gets off-the-hook and blames the Human for sinning! (snort) This makes tithing more attractive!
How silly is that?

ever choice we make is completely free will. being raised in a different country does not take away our free will to choose
