What exactly did he say? Any good lie must contain some kernel of truth to be believed. To convince someone that their life can be improved through change, they must be discontent in some way.

I would think that if your going against a omnipotent Being you either have a reason that makes self sacrifice okay with you or your dumb as a box of rocks.
I believe most of mankind has chosen one or the other and pride leads the way, at least Lucifer believed so.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
