Though, perhaps the idea of free will is just way too abstract for us to truly comprehend. Kind of like infinity. We have a basic grasp of what infinity and free will are, but we don't really have the ability to truly understand either.
Edit: What would be an example of something that doesn't have free will for us to compare to?
Edit again: But if free will doesn't exist then how could you believe in morality? If free will isn't real then nothing is good, bad, wrong or right. They just are. You don't do bad, you don't do good, you just do accordingly to the cosmic algorithm.
