I was thinking that same thing. Like, why did God give us free will, the ability to decide for ourselves, if he wants us to consult him for everything, and ask HIM to do it? That was really stupid.

Free will is most definitely not a good thing if you believe that original sin has tainted man's ability to choose God. This gives us a "free will" that only rejects God -- and how can that be a good thing?

In and of itself, free will is nothing, neither good nor bad. Much like anything else, it is how you use the free will, and how others perceive that use that determines the goodness, or lack thereof, to each individual's perception.

Not all the time because we sometimes make mistakes but most of free will is all good.

It places are above other creatures with both highest freedom and highest responsibilities. Else, we would be mere robots or, at best as some animals, subdued to mere instincts.
