The gentleman answered the question graciously. Who is ultimately responsible for your individual actions. Is it GOD or you? If there is free will, it is you. So, if you choose to do good and shun evil and everyone around you knows and does good and shuns evil, you would have a good neighborhood.
Oh dear, Satan was given a job. Do you think he was made for no reason? Don't belittle God, He knows what He doing. Yes it is about our free will. To have free will you need options and consequences. Look at the pattern in the Bible, Satan makes the options and consequences for our decisions. That is why they are called temptations. Yeshua when he came to what Satan was tempting Him were options to God. Every decision has a consequence and God does not cross our decisions. The reason why is: you can not force someone to love you. Therefore free will is guaranteed in the principles of love, and God is love.
