you can’t be serious? Free will doesn’t enter into the picture....your personal decisions influence nothing?
Free will is important. Your personal decisions are important.
If your free will leads you to make a personal decision in favor of improving your relationship with your Creator, then wonderful things will happen.
If your free will leads you to make a personal decision to defy God, to attempt to thwart His will, and to support evil, then you will find yourself in a soup of fear and pain. Fear and pain can in turn cause you to commit other evils.
Thus, without God, crippling fears about the future might lead you to commit evil by supporting one evil that you deem to be less evil than another evil. You might, for example, vote for Romney in an effort to prevent the reelection of Obama. You might fancy yourself some sort of connoisseur of evil, capable
of distinguishing between fine gradations of evil and thereby blind yourself to the reality that either choice remains evil.
Reject Obama.
Reject Romney.
Reject all evil.
Trust God.
