Would we be automatons, or robots, without our free will?

Does our ability to choose the right thing to do relate to our free will or not?

If it is our free will that makes us human, and if without it, we would be mere robots of God's, what does that make of God? If we can choose between good and evil because of our free will, and if we had no free will, we would, or more could, only be ever good. Does God have free will then? I ask this question because, as far as we know, God is always good, so then again, presumably he doesn't have free will then, or this above argument (about us all being mere robots without our free will) wouldn't hold up, as even with free will or without it, we could never be automatons, or robots, because God himself presumably isn't one, so we, his creation, could never one be either. Free will is the freedom to be yourself, and God is always himself, so the talk of his having free will is largely irrelevant, for his will is free, because it is his will, and by definition, he is good, and cannot sin, or do evil. This is how we see God as being. God's will is his word, and is truth, and because he can never sin, because he is always good, the idea of free-will can only ever really apply just to his creation, and not to himself. And yet, anything that has been created, by God, can use their own free will, but as a result of this, as soon as they choose with their free will to go against God, and to go only for themselves, they are becoming sinful, and not being the part of God that they really are, or were created to be. They are cutting themselves off from God, and when they do this, they enter hell, because heaven only contains within it those on God's side serving God totally from his love within themselves. Anywhere else is Hell, and we are the ones who created this ourselves, with our free will. Is it really our free will that allows us to make the right choice then, or not, or is it maybe perhaps something else again?
