If some people don't have free will then we can't make them responsible for their actions.  I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with that.

I understand what you are saying and I have an answer for you.  I have a very dear friend whom I have a lot of respect for.  I consider her to be smart, down to earth, and she also happens to be very religious.  I know what she would say to your question.  God gave us free will and an intellegent mind of our own so we can make the right decisions in our lives.  We are not ment to follow things blindly.
