God proves that the ability to be responsible for something in no way serves as a compulsion to actually be responsible for something. God should be maximally responsible, and yet is not responsible in the slightest. He does whatever he wants regardless of how anybody else feels about it. That's what irresponsibility is.
Quote:God has dealt with us in a way compatible with our inability to live free of sin. That's what atonement is.
Demanding atonement for an inability we can't do anything about is mere cruelty, especially when he explicitly made it so that we lacked that ability. It's like beating an infant to death because it can't climb a ladder.
And, you still haven't addressed the dilemma I remarked on earlier.
You do know the Son of God provided the required atonement don't you, and all we have to do is accept it?
If so, what are you talking about? If your on a sinking ship, and their are life rafts available, would you not get on board one? Or would you stay on the sinking ship in all your self righteousness proclaiming that a modern ship should be unsinkable? If you stay on board and elect to drown how is that the fault of the ship lines?
