One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Your "gotcha" attempts are weak. I belong to myself, and I'm the only one who can "save" or "damn" myself. I take responsibility for my actions, don't imagine an external aggressor, and do things for my own reason and purpose without thought of unearthly rewards. Any evil I have is my own and not part of some demons pyschodrama, and any goodness I've cultivated can be firmly laid upon me without invoking some fairy that imbued me with it. That you believe yourself to be powerless in your own "salvation" is your crutch, not mine. That's what "it comes down to".
What is "my children" supposed to mean?
Truly, i am powerless in my own salvation, no matter what i do or how hard i try, it falls on God's mercy and grace. And i don't see that as a crutch but justifying every action with partiality to one's self seems a little helpful.
Would you want to live forever, you know, if science found away to do that?
