    Free will does however not exempt from any consequences.” Ah, the same free will that have the abused women at home. “But darling, I don’t want to beat you up. I love you. But you force me to beat you up because you don’t do as you are told, you don’t freely obey the Rules I imposed so I am obliged to beat you up… And you love me too, or I will take care of the second eye...”

    Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Voltaire.

    "I've been in few famous last stands, lad, and they're butcher shops. That's what Blouse's leading you into, mark my words. What'll you lot do then? We've had a few scuffles, but that's not war. Think you'll be man enough to stand, when the metal meets the meat?"
    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
    "Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"

    Jesus doesn't beat women... couldn't resist.
    But yeah, men are free to beat up women if that's their fantasy. Consequences for such is not.

    It is the religious answer to free will. You are free to choose damnation and likewise choose liberation. But the small writing says damnation is default unless you utter "Jesus is Lord" (Christianity).
    Even the most pious person, the most innocent infant is damned by default without Jesus. This is my understanding of Christian salvation. But according to Calvinism you are predestined to damnation whether you choose it or not. Likewise those predestined to salvation. Its a rigged system.
