I don't feel that this topic has been adequately discussed. As you can see I believe that free will is not a myth and, in fact, its existence is very real and not only that but that is central to Christian belief.

Here is a very short list of the things that I believe that presuppose a belief in the existence of free will:
The belief that all men are created equal
The belief in hope
The belief in forgiveness
The belief in understanding
The belief in repentence
The belief that evangelism has a purpose
The belief in the value of education....presentations of ideas, etc.

All of these things presuppose that by exercise of our free will that we are personally capable of change.

A short list of things that deny the existence of free will:
The belief in predestination
The acceptance of the belief of victimology(that we are not responsible for our actions
The caste system(we cannot escape the limitations of birth)
The belief that we cannot escape karma
