Human freedom??

Theology 101 . . . : )

So, I am taking an intro to Theology course and I just read something very thought provoking in my textbook:

The meaning of human freedom:
"I am free to choose among various options. But my choice will be influenced by who I am. Therefore, my freedom must be understood as my ability to choose among options in light of who I am. And who I am is a result of God's decision and activity. God is in control of all the circumstances that bear upon my situation in life. Through all the factors that have come into my experience in time past he has influenced the type of person I now am."

If you follow that thought out, although we have a "choice" God has created us the way He has, allowed situations to influence us in certain ways, so that we will most likely choose a specific path. . . . so do we actually have a choice? Hmmm. . . .

Any thoughts?
