Freedom = The absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action.
Free Will = Freedom of humans to make choices that are not determined by prior causes or by divine intervention
I wanted to clear this up since alot of people are saying God gave me freedom.
Example:
If god gave you free will then why did he create the comandments? If you cant steal because the comandments said so that is not free will, its obedience. Now you will probably be compelled to say something like,"God wants all of us to steal then, yeah right," but lets just call that reality in everyday life even without faith.
My sources come from Merriam-Webster dictionary and im sorry, but your wrong if you think God gave you freedom. Your right if you say he gave you obedience, then again humans naturaly have freedom, thus proving he does not exist.
