This is what I was responding to, when I said it meant there was no free will;
Now clearly, we are capable of averting death; that's what the entire field of medicine does. Therefore, we are allowed to make that choice; but then that jerk comes along, presuming to speak for god, and says "no, you're not allowed to do that". Oh yeah; well who's going to stop me! Not god, and certainly not that fanatical loon! I reject that notion every time I hand someone a Band-Aid and Neosporin at the church, or help my dad with his glaucoma eye drop medication; and I do so gladly!
If god says we are free to choose, makes a choice available to us, but then tells us we are "not allowed" to choose it; how is that anything other than denying us our free will? In then end though, I know it's not god saying that; god never says anything. It's always other people, who want to impose their views on what is right and what is wrong on others, that use his name to try and force you to give up your free will. Well screw them; I know what's right, and letting people die because it's "natural" isn't.
