Verse
 We are free to think of anything. At one moment we think of the trees in the garden; at another, of the tomorrow's weather; at still another, of the past experience. These things that we think of, whether existent or non-existent, substantial or imaginary, true or false, may be said to be fairly stable in contrast to our free thoughts. The trees in the garden must be there dropping leaves, even while we stop thinking of them. Thus we can freely organize or map our thoughts upon this stable background.

It is not that "free will arises from ... the 'inconstancy' of language" (Hobbes) but from that of inference mainly due to ignorance or lack of information. The more ignorance the more inference; the more information the less inference. That is, ignorance is the very source of free will.

No god may be free. He would do just what he should do. Similarly it is taken for granted that "what the old man says is always right." God should remain absolutely fair and disinterested. Then it would be useless to chant god's glory and ask him to forgive our unforgivable sin. A compassionate god must be partial, hence a fallacy!
