Determinism is certainly popular these days. But I don't buy it. And to me the nature of God is paradoxical which is why I can say "we choose to choose" with a straight face.
It's not a logical issue IMO, it's one of those things that requires first hand experience. You can't memorize a textbook and then know what to do, or know how things are.
