Yes, but such a universe is still fundamentally incompatible with Christian (and most other) religious teachings.

There would be absolutely NO point in praying or asking for help in a universe with absolute free will, yet that is exactly what Christians (and many others) teach. It shows up all over in how they treat others and civil policy.

It's why they're so pro punishment: You make a choice to do bad things, you had free will to choose not to, so you must be bad. It's not completely broken logic that they use, but it is absolutely not a self-consistent set of rules.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
