**Two questions:

**1. Does God have free will?
**2. Are we made in His image?

1. Yes, since after all he is God. 2. We were created in his image, but that image was corrupted after the fall. Therefore, one can't assume we have the same attributes we did before the fall (like free will).

That certainly is convenient.

Somehow I'm reminded of an old Ray Bradbury story where a kid starts telling his buddies "I wanted you to do that." after every move. Predictably he gets thumped by his irritated companions, and as they head home he winds up screaming triumphantly at them "I want you to do everything you do for the rest of your lives!"

Not sure why I thought of that. Inevitable, I guess...
