"Remember the greatest gift god gave us all: FREE WILL"

Free Will has been at the center of theological debate for centuries beginning with the heated debate between Erasmus and Luther. Luther rejected the concept of "Free Will". Maybe a better defense for pornovoyeurs would be "the devil made me do it"...

A better word for Free Will might be Liberty.
If you don’t believe in Liberty, it comes down to your ability to impose your religious beliefs.

Free Will is a great gift.

Free to drink, smoke, jump out of a plane, not wear a helmet etc...

It gets screwed up by man during the consequences part. Too many can’t/won’t accept the consequences of their behavior.

This is usually where Libs and Conservatives part company.

There’s no such thing as “The Devil made me do it.”

That’s just a moron not accepting the consequences.
