mmmm.... let me rephrase it. If I choose evil, there are two possibilities, I do it because society educated (or brainwashed) me to do it that way or I do it because my inner self tells me to do so. In the first case it would be unfair to blame me for being compelled by society or whatever to do something. It is not my fault. In the second case, we should consider how did I come to be who I am. There are two cases too. First, I was born that way. Second, I evolved through my choices to be who I am. In the first case then I can not be blamed because if I was born that way and god exists, then god made me that way. The responsibility is his. In the second case, considering choices are discrete, there must be one choice, the first one that got me on that track. Now that choice was taken for two possible reasons. First, I was born that way => god's fault. Second, I made choices that took me to that point but that can not be because I have stated that this was the FIRST choice in that direction. So, IF GOD EXISTS THEN IT IS HIS FAULT. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
