While God may not micromanage us, I believe that He created a pre-determined path for each of us to follow. Since God can neither be denied nor wrong, we have no choice but to follow the path He created for each of us.
Sorry, I don't buy predestination. We have free will, and though God knows what we're going to do with it, he does not destroy it by preordaining what we do. Otherwise, why Heaven and Hell? If God already created everyone's destiny, why bother with the messy life-on-earth thingy? Just go straight to sorting everyone out, up or down.
