As rational mentioned, that is redicilous. I expect my employees to question me. My managers expect me to question them. A "because I say so" attitude does not work in the workplace - no wonder the guys under you do stupid things.
The only people I listen to with very little questions are those that have more knowledge in an area than I do (like the networking guys). They tend to be several levels below me and earn 1/4 of my salary.
You have no idea what you're talking about, you do not know the situations, and in the end my crews were better than the others and we were all known as good in our field, even by other companies. What makes you think I did not have considerable more knowledge than those below me. My guys may have at times not liked me, but they enjoyed being know as one of the best crews in our type of work, and they most definitely liked it when I to the flack for their screw ups, I protected my guys. There is no need to go any further with this it has nothing to do with the OP.

So you wash your hands of me?
That's pretty freaking cold.
Don't leave me here. Save me GC. Do the Lord's good work. Don't just walk away you cold hearted bastard. Fucking save me.
Jesus told us to kick the dust of our shoes and move on when the message is rejected. Maybe He'll send you someone else. If you want saved you'll have to go to your knees before the Lord, you've seen it you know what has to be done do it or stop being a liar, you know what the scriptures say about liars.

Indeed, they lacked wisdom by design. If they played the role of obedient, unquestioning puppets, they'd be okay. If they used the intellect and curiosity that they'd been designed with and acted freely, they would be punished. They weren't supposed to think for themselves.
One imagines that the Garden of Eden was actually one of those hedge mazes, and humanity was meant to wander it endlessly according to the strict path given them. To deviate even once meant catastrophe. The Bible shows that thinking for yourself leads to disaster. Just follow orders and you'll be fine.
There was only one deviation they had to avoid, no other rules were given to them. One would think that when God came and they were hiding, one would see they knew they had messed up and lost all they had, one would think that any how. Unless one desires to ignore their actions or close there eyes to the real story.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
