Discussing Free Will though just leads one in philosophic and semantic circles.
Do we have free will? How can we tell? What is 'free will' anyways? If God is a) the creator of everything and b) all knowing - he can't have given us free will as he already knew everything that he was creating therefore everything is pre-ordained (To which apologists respond God can do anything, to which Homer asks "Could God microwave a burrito so hot, he himself could not eat it?") etc. etc.
Personally, I am of the opinion that in a Universe where some 90+ % of the matter and energy remain invisible to us it is premature at best to discount the possibility of a God entirely. However, I am totally convinced that if a God does exist it has never 'revealed the Truth' to anyone anywhere at any time and that all human religions are completely fabricated.
You are entirely welcome to go and believe in a God, however, if you choose to believe in a God that has an alleged revealed truth you had better be prepared to defend that truth and what it says about your God.
