Apples and oranges.

Choosing anything is making a choice. Someone chooses to be a Christian for example.

Being a Christian does not prevent you from making choices at all. You are still very free to make choices everyday on anything.

Funny, with the Rush lyrics in the other forum-

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear-
I will choose free will

And there is a possibility that those who choose freewill can be in as much in bondage to their bassest desires as those who choose to serve a diety.

Yes, and yes. It's easy to shoot your foot off, so take it easy.

freedom is being who you are without discretion.

religion or no religion.

i was drunk.

point was you have the freedom to have religion. so being religious is being free as well.

it bothers me that so many people are sooooo terrified of religion.
