You are equally coerced by the rest of causality. Go ahead, just smash a concrete wall with your fist and with all your strength. But don't be surprised when you break your hand per chance. Why would not the same apply about knowledge of (nature of) absolute reality (or its absence, i.e. ignorance) and consequences it has, in either case, on the human behavior in the face of inevitable death? Still, the choice to smash that wall or not is totally free and completely in your hands. (And I won't go into details why even what we call death is perfect and IMHO pretty ingenious in the large picture of things such as evolution, range of experience, etc.)

The real question in the context of this debate is what or who is God. I certainly don't talk about the image of God you paint (despite the fact that I used a lot of anthropomorphic allusions -- well, I was talking to Jeff). To make it short: we are "created" perfect and sin, which simply means error or missing the mark, is (ultimately) just succumbing to illusions about the nature of absolute reality, thus acting against the grain of universal causal rules as it were, which inevitably generates some kind of suffering and even literal pain somewhere in the universe. Universe which accounts for, and accommodates, any conceivable option. That is to say, universe which is omnibenevolent.

If universe is as such, its ontological basis, or absolute reality, is clearly the same. Moreover, due to various reasons, the two cannot be separated. But I won't elaborate in depth on that to keep this reply as short as possible (well, I could also go on with omnipresence, omnipotence, or omniscience, but that would take even longer :D). So, for now, I will leave it at that.
