Theists: how do you account for psychopaths?
RE: Theists: how do you account for psychopaths?
I dont see why constant divine intervention would be required.  We seek to reduce or eliminate these problems without that crutch and have had some success..presumably, the author of all biology has the tech specs and wouldn;t need to come down and wave a wand at everyone all the goddamned time.

All I see is another version of "god wont do what men would do for unknown but completely real reasons, even though I can't articulate what those could possibly be - it;s better this way".

What would the problem with this being a supernatural world be, if it had to be done that way, anyway? To hear the story told it already -is- a supernatural world. Something is awry...........
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
