    If everything is God's will is there any freewill?

    Hard to distinguish between the two. I feel that whatever will (to whom ever you accredit it to) is not separate from yours. Especially in the sense that we are going to compare it to some standard, in this case a god's set of standards or moral credence, it makes it that much hard to differentiate because of their reliance on each other for definition.

    This will is manifest through our very nature. However you want to confine it by putting qualifiers or attributing it towards a deity, I think the inseparable aspects are inherent.

    Other than ua's answer I would add that god is like a sea of conciousness and that whatever we do,think feel,etc. is at once "in" the individual and part of the greater collective/sea.
    From a more refined point of view cheating is not desirable or even possible..
