I don't buy this, as I think that God also has free will. He CAN commit an evil act, but CHOOSES not to. And that's what makes Him God. Why would He give us an ability that He Himself doesn't have? We are created in His image, after all.

This might not make much sense, but I just had to comment on this. Blame it on tiredness from so much late staying up with the baby...
