There is one key variable when determining whether there is true
free will; Duress.
Duress may be physical, spiritual or emotional. The test of whether
there is true free will is whether the person presenting you with
the choices threatened to cause or let some harm befall you if you
do not pick a choice of his desire.
I dont think the employment contract makes a good analogy. For a
start, if you refuse to sign the terms, you wont get the job, but
otherwise no harm will come to you. In other words, there is no
element of duress.
I will only be robbing someone of his right to free will, if (i) I
present him with a choice (say whether to pledge his allegiance to
me), and (ii) create or take advantage of some circumstances
unfavourable to him (say, create a fire pit) and tell him that if
he does not pledge his allegiance to me I will push him into the
fire pit.
It is not my intention to require you to present evidence that
disbelievers will go to hell. I am arguing from a doctrinal point
of view
Also, please understand that I am not arguing against your
religion. I am arguing against the ethical fallacy of Pascals
wager.
