Do you believe in god, Slimebeast?

Yes. 

Any specific religion?

Christianity.

Doesn't christianity claim that there is such thing as free will? By your train of thought, nothing is ever random, everything has a cause. This would mean that there is no such thing as free will. That contradicts your religion...

You forgot free will that emanates from the soul.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying...

You argued that I contradict my religion. But u forgot that if there is a soul, which is at least partly independent of the material world, then free will could come out of the soul. And still 'nothing is ever random, everything has a cause' hold true. So no contradiction.
