I'm not making any assumptions at all. I'm merely asking questions, and pointing out that things aren't always as cut-and-dried as you seem to see them.

So you admit that free will exists even in a Hobsons choice.

From the very start I said that my opinion was the same as yours. I do indeed believe in free will. I also said that it's just opinion, and that there are many opinions on the subject and always have been. Where we disagree is that I believe my opinion to be no more valid (or invalid) than any other, whereas you seem to believe that your opinion is fact, and that's that.

It's mentioned repeatedly throughout your post. Just because you're limited by reality to choices you find objectionable doesn't mean you don't have a choice at all.

Maybe we should submit a thesis on the subject. "After thousands of years of debate, August says we absolutely have free will, and the discussion is henceforth closed."
I like discussing philosophy, and you apparently don't. I can accept that.
