With God,there cannot be any free will. People can only imagine they have free will.
If God created you, then how are you free? Did you want to be created ? Did he ask your permission before placing you here in this world?
No God, then free will is a certainty. In reality, we are spirits and united to each other. We are uncreated, infinite,unlimited. We manifested ourselves in this world because we wanted to do so. When we die, only the body dies and not the eternal spirit.

God exist in the mind of the believer. If you can prove it to yourself that god doesn't exist then god doesn't exist. If you are convinced that god isn't existent then god doesn't exist.
If you believe in god then god exist.
God exist in the mind of the believer. Those who doubt are just unsure what to believe or don't have time to think, or don't care at all.
I think god created us and that's cool with my beliefs questioning his existence is futile to those who are strong believers because they will evangelize you to their beliefs. Doubt is there in my mind and that's when I'm curious.

i kind of disagree with you on this matter... God created us not as a robot but with a free will to make a decision... but that free will comes with consequences and if we make a wrong decision, we will be punished... just like when we are living in a country... we have to abide to the country's law... otherwise, we can get punished as well for breaking the laws... but again, we have the free will to make the decision... take care and have a nice day...

To a certain extent you are right. God will educate His children. You do not have free will to change this. When you walk out of your house today, you do have the free choice of walking left or right. We all do have free will and free choice but only limited to the parameters set by God. You say we manifested our lives ourselves. If given a free choice, I think most would be healthy,wealthy,and wise before we added anything else. Of course, many lessons can not be learned that way. That's why things aren't that way. God doesn't exist until you actually bump into Him.
