1984

I just finished reading George Orwell’s 1984.  What was interesting was that what the Party wanted—a belief in the Party’s philosophy and code of conduct, a change in a person to conform to what the Party wants, and a love for Big Brother–closely parallels what God wants from us.   But there is one major difference—the Party used torture and death to achieve its ends.  It did not care about the wishes of its citizens.  The Party was interested in power and power alone.  God does care about the desires and wishes of humans and as a result he gives us free will.  For those Christians who deny human free will, what is the difference between God and the Party as described in 1984?
