The Problem of Freewill

G.S. Bryan's post on Driscoll brought me to another topic: Calvinism, or Predestination. I know I've heard Bryan's thoughts in the past but it may have changed, and  I haven't heard my new blogging friend's opinion. In the punk world, everything is DIY, freewill reigns (actually MY will reigns), but when you become a Christian invariably SOME of you if not ALL is given to God's will, so how did you both deal with that transition? And on top of that, how much of life/us do you believe God controls and does it go as far as the Calvinist definition of predestination, where before you are born no matter what you do, God decided, ELECTED, who would go to heaven and who would go to hell, getting us awfully close to that Robot problem we spoke of earlier.
