Quote by: christianmathew  I personally would not consider him a "nasty triskster" so much as a guy who gives everyone a chance, and lets them make their own choice. Remember, you may follow his laws (coicidentally or not), but we all have sinned so we need his grace and forgiveness to get into heaven. So you may go to that horrible place, hell. (Matt w, I'm not threatening him, please don't delete my post!) |
But... the only reason we're sinning in the first place is that 1. god created this stuff called "sin" and then made it all the fun stuff and 2. god gave us free will.
I encourage my kids to think for themselves. However, I also don't leave dangerous stuff where they can get to it until they're old enough to know better, and I *certainly* don't go around making all the dangerous stuff *HORRIBLY* appealing..
