You don't have absolute free will. Here's the proof: sit in a chair for two minutes and concentrate on your breathing. Try to be aware of every in-breath and out-breath without letting your mind wander. When you inevitably fail at this task, ask yourself how you can possibly consider your will to be 100% free when you can't even control the direction of your own thoughts for two minutes.
By the way, the fact that you asked this question is not proof of free will. How do you know your mind didn't compel you to ask it?

Spend your free will however you like, it's a non-issue if it's all tainted with sin anyway. You also cannot "buy into" God. Faith is given by a sovereign God, and only to His elect.

Anything you want, sho-nuff, anything!
Though I wouldn't suggest rape, murder, theft or torture. Just a thought.
And nah, even if you're religious (which I know you're not :P) I'm sure God would give free will to everyone. The whole point is that it's our choice to accept God or not, according to Christians!

Ezekiel 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
Zephaniah 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
it's all God's anyway, so how can you bribe God with what is his

You have free will to do anything you want, but if you practice it you go to hell. That god has a wicked sense of humor doesn't he?

You are exercising it by asking this question.
