You may be satisfied in reasoning a metaphysical subject should be provable by physics, but no sane logical person would.

Like a person would choose to ignore a rope when drowning. Oh dear look you drowned... must've been my fault for not making you grab the rope????

They chose to break the law, and they threw themselves into that torture chamber. They rejected his laws and chose death instead, because they thought he was a jerk. Does that make hussein a bad man?Well if I chose to break Sadam's laws knowing full well the maniac would punish me... should I blame him that I'm punished or bear the responsibility for my actions?
God is the judge of right and wrong... if you choose wrong then why do you expect to be treated otherwise by justice????

So you're saying you are directly responsible for the decisions of another person???(May 7, 2011 at 5:51 pm)fr0d0 Wrote: does that make you a bad parent?Yes. It does. Odds are, if you've given them enough of a reason to make them think you're a jerk that they choose death over being with you, you are a bad parent. And if said parents are able to do everything to keep you from wanting to reject it and them and fail to do so, they're even worse.
