I mean, according to most people, God is perfect and cannot make mistakes. So Satan, sin, and all that other “stuff” means that God knew what he was doing all along; that he manufactured the snake in the garden convincing Eve to talk Adam into eating the “forbidden fruit”, and that God knew Adam was going to lie, and yet still decided to be offended and curse all of man-kind to suffer for eternity because he got his feels hurt.
Free will is the First Lie™ we’ve ever been taught. Biblically or historically, we have all been told what to do, when to do it, and for how long and any hint at dissent would result in loss of life and/or liberty.
Never in our existence has everybody had the free will to do whatever they want. There’s always been an oppressive thumb to hold us down from the start.
