I have never been able to decide if we really have free will or not.

If two people take different paths in life, then there must be some fudamental difference in their design or their circumstances. What makes one person choose to be "righteous" and another choose to be "evil". If you gave two people exactly the same circumstances then they would act the same.

And it is a game of charades. If we were created with the capacity for anger and for hunger and for pain into a world of limited resources then we were set up to steal and murder. The fact that "sin" is so universal shows it to be a design flaw if we are expected to be free of sin.
