The prosecution argues that he studies human weakness, exploits vulnerability, introduces deception, and influences people toward choices that damage relationships, destroy lives, and separate them from God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the defense raises a question the courtroom cannot easily dismiss: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfluence may be powerful-but is influence the same as control?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSatan does not have to prove that he never tempted anyone.

Influence may pressure human choice, distort perception, and make truth harder to recognize-but control removes choice altogether.
