I'm not actually a fundamentalist, so maybe I shouldn't be posting here - sorry if that's the case. I just felt prompted to write to have you talk a bit more about free will. If I'm reading your right, it seems as though you think that a God without free will was a nonsense; I just wanted to examine that a bit, if that's okay.
Maybe you're right, and the God that fundamnentalists posit can't properly be described as having free will. I suppose they say that he won't ever do anything "evil" (although there seems to be some scriptural evidence that he's got quite an esoteric understanding of what constitutes a good action - but that's another story).
But does it matter? I think the idea of free will make more sense when it is applied to mortal, finite beasties like ourselves. Can the concept of free-will be meaningfully applied to something that can do pretty much anything if it wanted?
Don't they see God as the ultimate free agent, who maybe short of a square triangle, and a really heavy rock, can do what he likes? And if God has supposedly been chosing to be good since the beginning of time (maybe treating Job that way WAS nice, who knows?), isn't that his perogative?
I'm just asking; as you can see, I'm pretty vague. If I'm missing the point, please be gentle with me.
