In regards to free will, I like your assessment, I thought it was quite accurate and lays bases for further debates. About that donkey business, it was only an example and did not mean to offend other animals.
Well, to start with, take the biblical God. He is considered to be perfect, the perfection status is an adjective and as such a premise is created. But a correct meaning of the term Perfect has to apply and not the assumption of the adjective otherwise you have a contradiction and the adjective becomes distorted and confusing to the person wanting to have an idea of what is being communicated. Get it?
