If you do not exercise you free will, some other being will make decisions for you. It won't be God, but more likely some random being who needs a body.
Remember: If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Free will exists regardless of whether or not you accept it. If you make no choices (that's a choice, no?) then you will go where ever circumstance blows you.
Never fear, there will always be those around who will want to tell you want to do - you can let them be in charge of your will. Cheers.

WHAT HAPPENS!
#1- YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ASK THIS
QUESTION
#2- YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY
DECISIONS
#3- YOU WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW ORDERS
I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT TO PUT TO YOU STRAIGHT!
YOU'D BE A SLAVE TO OTHERS!
*********NOT GOD!*********
YOU GAVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO FREE WILL!
WHICH MEANS THAT YOU HAD FREE WILL BEFORE YOU MADE THE CHOICE!
NOW GO LAY DOWN!
LIKE A GOOD LITTLE BOY!
YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE!

In small print it clearly states that if you do decide to use your free will, it will void warranty on your soul and upon death you will have to send your soul to hell to get it repaired. Theres a lot of legal mambojamba about certain rules you have to follow if you want to send your soul to heaven which I guess has a faster rma / repair turn around. It's as tricky as getting your money back from a Circuit City mail-in rebate form.
It's a contract you really should avoid.

You're already a robot. Free will is an illusion. God doesn't exist, so that isn't relevant.
Check out determinism - that's what's really going on. Every "decision" you think you make is a function of your brain calculating, calculating based on hundreds or thousands of factors. Every decision you think you make is based on genetics (nature), learning (nurture), needs (like the status indicators in Sims games), conditioning, and more. Every decision you think you make, when you think back, could have been predicted, taking everything into consideration. You can understand, in retrospect, why you behaved in a certain way because you understand the context. That's determinism. You don't "control" your brain, it controls you because it IS you. Everything you think, feel, and do is the result of your brain's function. If the brain dies, the person you are ceases to exist. Think about that, then think about where this imaginary deity fits into the picture. It doesn't.

no one but you makes you do anything. You choose to follow or not. Noone controls you but you. Your free will is always there. Your choice no matter what.

You become an ox and a moron. How can you choose to not accept free will without free will?

Ahhh...sych a deep question, with such a simple answer.
"Free will" is just that, "free". You cannot give it back, trade it in or "super-size" it. Even by chosoing not to want it, you exercise "free will". My suggestion is that you just sit back and enjoy the ride, it's really not as bad as you think.....peace...Cuervo

It's not possible "not" to accept your Free Will. Even by "choosing" not to accept it, you are using it!
However, if you choose not to accept your free gift of salvation, you will have to pay for your sins yourself, which means eternal death.

You will disappear in a puff of smoke.
Just like Hoffa did when he gave up his free will.
He was never seen again. LoL
