I think the thought that God dictates or I am damned. And I guess the Free part of the Free will there is I have a choice to NOT think the thought God dictates, but if I exercise that "Free" will (looking less and less free all time) then I will spend ETERNITY in damnation, doomed to agony for all time.

Again, I don't get that.
