There was a guy in my pre-calc class in High School who was failing, and he suggested to the teacher that he do a bunch of push-ups to pass the course. the teacher agreed as long as he did at least 1000! the class was 1h and 30m long. he took a break halfway through the class with 750 regular 90-degree-style pushups (there were 3 people counting for him), and then proceded to finish off the rest of the 250 with diamond-nose touch pushups. He finished 10 minutes early. THATS impressive. and that's also why he passed the class. :notworthy

So, to include this in the analogy, the professor has LOCKED the door. Where does the Christian concept of "free will" enter into all of this?

No, there is no outside the room, the room is infinite, "within" this room you have free will.

--except to do our own push-ups, or to refuse a (wasted) donut, or for everyone to trade off with Steve at times, or to bum-rush the sadistic professor and distribute the donuts as we see fit, etc. etc.

yeah, I was thinking 300 wasnt impressive, but didnt want to be a braggart.

I think I could do 300 the way he said, tho. get a nice leisurely break every 10? my squad does them in sets of 30. . .
