You are talking about God?Dontaskme wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 3:35 pmSo what happened to playing the blamer role?bahman wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 3:27 pmNo.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 3:26 pm
So then if you said that "God puts us in sinful situations and waits until we sin"...then you the speaker, is to blame for saying what you spoke, surely you are playing the role of a speaker saying things like "God puts us in sinful situations and waits until we sin".
Am I missing something here ?
Why should we be blamed?

Dear bahman,
I think some would say that we are responsible for our agency because we’ve evolved into having free will.
If you fancy entertaining yourself with a fun paradox: may we have been determined to develop free will and thereby freed ourselves from being determined...?

And some would say that. It depends on what definition of God (and Human) they apply.
Re: Why should we be blamed?
I personally don't really know what created and designed everything, but I do know that some people call the creator and designer of all things God because I've heard them say it from their own speak.
I used to think about the idea of God, and sometimes I believe in the idea so hard, but then always come back down to earth with an even harder bump, to the natural state of not-knowing.

Then whose fault it is when a psychopath kill someone? A psychopath just cannot resist all life long. Why a psychopath should suffer?

Re: Why should we be blamed?
Of course, depends on the definition. But how God could be highest if He does not know the future? There are several religions that followers believe that God has foreknowledge.Hermit Philosopher wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 3:47 pmbahman wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 2:53 pmFree will?

I get the desire to lay blame, but -- sometimes -- there's simply no just place to lay it, no person to assign guilt to
Re: Why should we be blamed?
That is your interpretation which is fine. But do you think that God thinks the same?henry quirk wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 4:04 pmmental illness, disease, blunts the free will...can't blame the psychopath (you can only restrain him) anymore that you can blame the tornadobahman wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 3:49 pmThen whose fault it is when a psychopath kill someone?

Re: Why should we be blamed?
I speak about lots of things, but I have no idea what I am talking about, except what I want to believe, and so my belief becomes my only known reality, a story according to my own belief. I can only know my world according to how I see it. And I believe it's the same for every other human consciousness. Each one being a unique world unto themself only.bahman wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 3:53 pmI see.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 3:49 pmI personally don't really know what created and designed everything, but I do know that some people call the creator and designer of all things God because I've heard them say it from their own speak.

I understand that if I harm another, I only harm myself, because I have no desire to harm myself. So who would I be harming if not myself? I couldn't possibly think about harming something else, it would be unthinkable.
