You may or may not know, but free will does not exist as many understand it to. There is no magical soul that makes decisions. It is a vast amount of interactions between various stimuli and some random processes here and there, in the end, we do what we do because of the functioning of them all. Someone that studied the slightest bit of neurobiology would know this..
However, I guess it is stupid of me to think that any theist would actual study, or be able to comprehend neurobiology anyway right? So they continuously use the free will cop-out so that any individual has complete control over their very existence and being. Somehow though, God always manages to avoid responsibility for his behavior...
If you haven't and you aren't theist, there are many good books out there for laymen. One interesting theory on this is Hume's Fork. Simple but sensible.
