Still...fiction. If moral responsibility requires a moral agent and a moral choice, then a non-moral agent with no moral choice cant be held morally responsible. Do we agree or disagree, here?
We disagree. You're doing evil, you know it's wrong, therefore you should be held responsible for it. You may not be in control, but that doesn't change the fact that you're doing evil and need to be punished for it. Again, you can call it unfair if you wish, but it's unfair for a good reason. This is the last I'm discussing this with you...it's only been for H. Skeptic's benefit.

I'm saying that your life experience is different from my life experience. I can understand why you'd believe what you do if all of this has been an accurate description of your experience. Can you understand why I wouldn't believe what you do, since it hasn't been an accurate description of mine?
