“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...”

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.

I have to honest, I prefer Supernatural (TV shows) approach to it all. It is basically a parallel universe where mythology, legends and religion are all true.

What's wrong with partying?

Same question. And with adultery if partners are willing?

So is killing - but the Templars did a lot of killing keeping the roads open in the Holy land (and not just Muslims).
Adultery is a far worse sin than "fornication". The Former involves one person breaking an oath, which is one of the greatest sins for a Christian, and it harms the cuckold despite them having done nothing wrong. Adultery also often leads to violence, family breakup, not uncommonly people are injured or murdered, sometimes the children also.
The issue around sex is something that has bothered the clergy but it honestly wasn't a big deal until the Renaissance.
Read Dante's Inferno, see where "lust" is in Hell as compared to betrayal.

"That's easy - when you get married you promise not to commit adultery." Only in the Religious ones. The Laic one, you promise to rise yours kids and to help each others (well, if I remember well, as it was a long time ago).
