The "God gave us Free will" argument goes like this. Whenever something bad happens, like when a mean man murders a child or some idiot texting-driver slams into a row of cyclists, and one of us skeptics points out that a truly just god would never allow such a thing to happen, the true believers say, "God gave us free will." Of course, in their justifications, they totally ignore the will of that molested child who was murdered or those cyclists minding their own business who were slammed in the rear as they pedaled along. Often, the true believer will say what happened to them was "God's Will."
What on Earth?
So which is it. Do we have free will or are we all stuck on an endless treadmill doing God's will?
