I don't know. Honestly I would like to hear more about this. Supposedly, the thing that Separates us from the animals is our Free Will. (Although I wonder how much will animals lack, but that is a Different review.) Personally, I have always felt that we make our own decisions in Life, and good or bad we have to live with the Choices we make.
From a Christian standpoint, you have the Bible stories that show things God's way and mankind's way. According to the Bible, The Pharaoh who enslaved the Israelites didn't have a Whole lot of choice in the matter. Neither did Esau when he rejected his birthright or Judas when he Betrayed Christ. In Romans 9 it says "Jacob I loved but Esau I hated." I have always felt pity for poor Esau, so hungry yet his own brother Would rather take advantage of him than just give him a Damn bowl of Soup. Jacob was kind of a Jack-ass, yet despite his Jack-assery, God still chose him. I guess on some level that is supposed to be inspiring, God loves us despite our repeated efforts to be jerks. But what about all the Esau's of the World? Roman's 9 goes on to say that God will have Mercy on whom he wants to have Mercy and God will Harden who he wants to harden. Who are we to resist God's will? To paraphrase; The Potter makes pots for Noble uses as well as Common, and since we are the pots there is not a Damn thing we can do about it.
It seems to me that God created the game so he Can make whatever rules he wants. But since we are the Game pieces, it kind of sucks to be us. I believe in Free will, but I wonder from a Biblical standpoint how free he wants us to be. If the Bible is right on this matter, then Hell is filled with poor souls who had no Choice but to end up there.
