Rather disappointing. I thought it was going to be about the extent to which free will is an illusion and there are always factors that cause us to make one choice or another and the view that, if that is the case, the 'illusion' of choice is a very convincing one.

Instead it is yet another 'Choose God (our god, of course, not anyone else's) or go to 'Hil'. disappointing as I say. Perhaps not surprising.

You are free to choose any darn thing you want! Even the use of capital letters and punctuation.

False.

I chose to be married, and then I chose when it was time to divorce. I also chose to work hard and get myself out of poverty. I'm not rich, but I'm into the realm where I don't worry about paying the bills, and I have extra money to go traveling.

Everyone has the ability to choose their own destiny in life. Just because some of you choose to think you're commanded by an imaginary friend doesn't mean that you can't come to your senses and realize that your 'friend' isn't directing you at all.

Time to take personal responsibility, sheeple!
