no, the heavens said to keep their sabbath, creation holy and supersedes free will instead for self determination and judgement.
So what? Free will is free will.

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we have a revelation that was given by the Lord concerning partaking of certain foods. This revelation is known as The Word of Wisdom. Here is the revelation:
Section 89
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, February 27, 1833. As a consequence of the early brethren using tobacco in their meetings, the Prophet was led to ponder upon the matter; consequently, he inquired of the Lord concerning it. This revelation, known as the Word of Wisdom, was the result.
1–9, The use of wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks is proscribed; 10–17, Herbs, fruits, flesh, and grain are ordained for the use of man and of animals; 18–21, Obedience to gospel law, including the Word of Wisdom, brings temporal and spiritual blessings.
1 A Word of Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion—
2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the word of wisdom, showing forth the order and will of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days—
3 Given for a principle with promise, adapted to the capacity of the weak and the weakest of all saints, who are or can be called saints.
4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—
5 That inasmuch as any man drinketh wine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.
6 And, behold, this should be wine, yea, pure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make.
7 And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.
8 And again, tobacco is not for the body, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.
9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.
10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—
11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.
12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
14 All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
15 And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.
16 All grain is good for the food of man; as also the fruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground—
17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.
18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones;
19 And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures;
20 And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.
21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

My Bible has been saying the same thing for 2000 years. Must be something to it cuz it works great for me.
"And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant."

Do you see that happening a lot?
To argue one has no control over their choices seems fatalistic to me.
Everything is choice. You choose to spew hate.
I don't know any Jewish people or some fundamentalist Christians who wish they could eat pork though. Or any Hindu folks who feel deprived that they don't eat beef. A lot of vegans are repulsed by our consuming animal products of any kind and accuse us of all sorts of monstrosities. They don't seem to miss eating those things themselves
I do know celiac sufferers who definitely would like to be able to eat wheat and other grains containing gluten. And what brittle diabetic wouldn't like to be able to enjoy that hot fudge sundae that others of us can enjoy with little or no negative effect (unless we have too many)? Those with other food intolerances and allergies also have to give up a lot of good food.
But the religious? I don't know any who feel deprived because of the taboos they avoid.

Life is more fatalistic than we'd like to admit.
I can accept that life is chaotic but I cannot accept we don’t control our own destiny. Fate and free will go hand in hand.
