Say you make a program where you click a button and say a random number or word pops up on screen. Seems random, doesn't it? Well, no, actually. Computer science people and just anyone who's been informed of it know that random number generators aren't random at all, and are already determined JIT when that button is clicked. No random event can happen in this environment and that's how reality is. Nothing is actually free will at all, but it seems like it at face value. You can make a move and think to yourself you chose for that event to happen but in reality there's a far bigger picture and that "random" movement fits into it. That "random" number was determined by the computer as a part of its sort of plan, and likewise freewill, events we do that seem to us as if we chose to do them ourselves, are part of a plan of the higher being.
It's the God has a plan stuff, but not for the individual, individual action is used for the bigger picture rather than it being isolated from other individual actions.
So I'd say I'm a... determinist in regards to the bigger picture of our place in the universe and who or what created us, but at the earthly lower level have your way with your simulated freewill if you so choose. Because y'know that random number generator REALLY does feel random.
