    You can’t have free will without the option to choose anything. If you can’t choose evil you don’t have free will it’s just a semblance of free will. If you’d prefer a semblance of free will that’s valid

      Well I didn’t choose my depression, it’s origin is neuro-chemical. My free will and everyone else’s would be perfectly unchanged if I didn’t have said depression. Still I’m suffering every day from it and struggling greatly. How do you explain that?

      Can you do everything you want to, like fly by flapping your arms? No? Still you say you have free will. Can you buy a rocket and send it to mars? You cant? Still you say you have free will. Limited choices do not mean that you do not have free will.
