See, but that's what I think is bullshit. If God is like that, then he just holds us hostage. If he can flip a switch and control us at any moment, that isn't love. If he's so powerful, he could remove the switch all together! Otherwise we're like dogs. Leashed unless we aren't.

No one has absolute control over anyone but themselves. Being responsible for your actions, the good and the bad - nothing is determined by a God.
