Great analogy; I'm going to work with it too. Cause and effect is huge here, so let's say he sets it up and knows every way the dominos can fall, since they can choose to fall in different ways. It [i]would[/i] be predestination (mostly) if he said "Okay, I'm going to influence every single decision." However, according to Christian theology, he allows people to make their own decisions for the most part, and allows the dominos to fall where they may to some degree. If I understand your view point, if God pushed the first domino and then looked away forever (a non-personal God), then free will would exist. But if God pushes every domino individually (controlling God), then free will doesn't not exist. But does an intervening God (personal God) who only acts part of the time allow for free will? I would say yes, because we are not bound to his will.

The reason he doesn't separate is because anyone who isn't forgiven is evil in this world, regardless of how many good acts they do. A thief is still a thief even if he saves a puppy. So "good people" is a bit of an oxymoron, because we are only made good if forgiven. And I would argue that people who do what he says generally do end up with a better outcome than those who don't, but it's not always a material thing. They end up making an impact and have joy rather than a lot of "stuff." If personal anecdotes won't help, then I'm not sure how you'd expect me to show it. Though I also would like to say that the idea of karma (good and evil come back to you) is actually very much widely known throughout the world and has something to it.
