when you face a situation that is seemingly a one choice situation, the choice then becomes how to deal with the one choice, IE; positively or negatively, sometimes we are called on by life circumstances to only be able to decide how we will react, therein is the choice.

I keep saying the same thing, but these people are too retarded to get it. They make stupid analogies. Last night some girl said "if your boat was sinking and the coast guard came to help, wouldn't it be your fault if you don't take their help?" For some people this argument sounds great, but if we make it accurate with god the analogy should say "if you had a boat that the coast guard intentionally shot a missle into it and put all the water needed to sink you in place and offered their salvation, would it be the coast guards fault you sank?" The answer would be absolutely yes because they created the situation to begin with. Not recieving the coast guards help would be your best bet because it is impossible to know that this "helping hand" they are extending now isn't just a trick or what not.
In religion, there are NO 2 options. There is either A) you do as I say, or B) I will destroy you. That is threat, not a choice.

Not making the choice is not a choice your right. But there is never one choice, Its one or the other if its choice You have a the right to pick. you cant have choice with out two or more options.
THe question is what is the outcome. So ask, is the outcome of the option based on truth. :)

Choice implies action. Even that is still a choice. Action and inaction are both choices, therefore, there is no such thing as having no choice, except for death, and we have no power over that. We may prolong the inevitable, but nobody gets out of here alive.

Your choice is to accept or reject God. If you reject Him that was your choice and you are happy you made that choice. You feel that people who chose to believe are idiots. If you chose to accept that is your choice and you are happy with that choice.Having freedom to chose doesn't mean to do your own thing, each man going his own way. If God were a such a big meanie then everyone who speaks against Him would be struck dead. He would make us line up like puppets and never do anything wrong or else. You have lots of freedom, don't complain. The worse thing God wants to give you is Heaven forever.

In this case I call it Oppression of Choice, its like do this or die! Or like a Government with only ONE party to vote for, and everyone's gotta vote... unless they are peaceful little old ladies collecting discount coupons at home.
A one party government eg. Communism, gives you a "choice" either you follow the program or you will mysteriously disappear into some kgb prison. Or what Hitler did, either you are one of the "chosen race" or its off to the burners for you.
Free will is a myth when the choice given to you is " My Government" or die...

there are many choices and many consequences. many paths and many outcomes. the only beneficial outcome is to fullfill our purpose.
sometimes people will say that is a good answer. even if they don't agree with the answer. or they will say he is a good doctor or good lawyer. so what makes something good. something that fulfills it's purpose in life. for example if someone asks a good question or gives a good answer then that means that it has fulfilled it's purpose as a question and an answer.
therefore there are such things as bad questions. make sense.

Your are correct that there can't be freewill without multiple choices, but that doesn't mean that all choices are right. And man-made laws don't change choice, because people can choose to break the laws.

There is freedom of choice, there is free will. There are many choices, which leaves you with may paths to choose, many decisions to make...its called life.

Free will is bad semantics for free choice. We always have a choice but not the freedom to excercise free will our own way.
