I think you totally misunderstand the meaning of "free will." God never told man he was free to do whatever he pleased. And you also misinterpret my argument for "free will," I never stated that I believe God gives us free will, I was merely commenting on the aspects of what some do believe. If we didn't have this 'free will' and God simply zapped bad people whenever they did wrong, there wouldn't be much need for faith, there wouldn't be many who didn't believe in God. Now, if God were a person who had feelings, he might prefer a universe where all people believed in him and worshiped him, but God isn't a person. He doesn't really care if you believe or not, he doesn't lose any sleep over it, I am sure. People don't worship God because God demands it or requires it. They worship out of "free will" because they believe in God and are thankful for his many blessings. Now if it mattered one iota to God that you didn't go to church on Sunday, he could point his Godly finger at you and *zap* you'd be history. Again, if God did this, I doubt many of us would miss church. God's not a human being, he doesn't have selfish conceited humanistic feelings that require us to give him pleasure. This idea is a construction of man, who is completely incapable of understanding God.
