Plantinga's "Free Will" defense contradicts Christianity

[John 6IX Breezy]

I've just discovered where my neighbour keeps tens of thousands of dollars in her house.  She routinely leaves the door unlocked, and is away for a large part of the day.  I have every opportunity to walk into her home and take the money.  I decline to do so.  Does this make me an automaton?

Based on the description it doesn't sound like you are. I say this because most psychologists are more comfortable speaking about free won't rather than free will. Declining to do something sounds similar to the conscious experience of impulse control most people associate with free will (see Filvenich, et al., 2012).
