Freedom implies responsibility!has lost all meaning today, if it even had one to begin with. You are always responsible for your actions, weather you are free or not.
The difference is in who is holding you responsible, when you are free to do as you wish, the way you act determines who you are, when you are not, the force outside you, state, religion, parents, whatever that prevents you from doing as you wish, determines who you are.
You are not free when you can't act your worst because somebody watches over you, and hence you are not good when somebody forces you to be, but you are free and good, when you can act your worst but don't because it isn't right, and no further reason is needed to be given.
That is, being good because you have to doesn't say anything about you, doing good without reason does.
Hence you can never know wether a person is god when that person always obeys the law, bible, or any other authority.
