But is it influenced?
is it not? The point of free will is that we are not trash floating down
stream where we have to go where the water is flowing, nor are we
puppets with someone pulling our strings MAKING us do what they
want instead of what we want.

hey look at this, it ... whatever line he is pushing that feeds some
lust within in us, something to make us float down stream. The
OT and the NT both refer to a spiritual battle going on around us,
I imagine that it could be looked at like that, but I'd be willing to bet
there is a little more to it.
