It's your assertion that human beings are incapable of good. I know, I know, you think that we can be god-graced a loan on goodness, but that's not relevant to what I;m asking you.
If I'm not capable of good, why would a god need to curse my heart or my sight in order for me to do the bad thing? I would do it anyway, wouldn't I? The god curse just isn't necessary to the explanation of the phenomena.
If we're going to blame something for your failure, god doing something to me isn't at the top of my list. You?
Quote:God has done plenty of things to you. He has blessed you with good things, and He has punished you for your sins. Just because you fail to acknowledge it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.If you lack the patience or the ability to make sense of my comments, can you be morally responsible for failing to address my questions?
Quite frankly, I find the rest of what you've written to be basically incoherent and I do not have the patience to try to make sense of it.
A productive conversation goes something like:
Me- My requirements for moral responsibility are a moral agent, and a moral choice.
You - mine are x and y and z
So, would you be morally responsible for me being incoherent? Well, you are a moral agent, so, check - you're capable of moral responsibility. You don't have any moral choice in my being incoherent, though...so..no..no, in fact, you wouldn't be. Does our process differ somehow. Is this all incomprehensible gibberish to you?
