So many questions, lighter! ;-) You must be a very inquiring fellow. I shall attempt to answer some of them (merely for my own amusement, because I've got some free time on my hands at the moment, and I hardly care what you choose to believe or not believe...it doesn't matter...but why not amuse myself?).

Okay...

"Doesn't an unmistakable, divinely inspired experience violate one's free will to choose wrong?"

No, it doesn't. Not in the least. You are still free to choose wrongly if you want after having had that experience. For instance, an Angel could appear in front of you and advise you to stop smoking for your own good and to stop treating your wife and your dog badly. You would probably be momentarily shocked and a bit cowed in the face of such an unexpected event....but an hour later you would say to yourself, "What a load of bollocks! There are no Angels. I must have had a hallucination. And even if it was a real Angel, what right does an Angel have to tell ME what to do? To hell with that! I'm going to light up a cig right now, kick the dog, and make disparaging remarks to the wifey about her looks, character, and reasoning abilities. Ha!"

See what I mean? Your free will was NOT taken away by the divinely inspired experience. Not one whit. You remain 100% free to be any kind of idiot you want to be, and in your own special way.

(grin)

Okay, that's enough entertainment for the moment. If I get bored in awhile, I'll come back and answer some more of your rhetorical questions.
