Not sure if I believe this is only a “choice” issue. Most of us wouldn’t be tempted for one second to slaughter a partially born infant. It takes an inhuman degree of selfishness to do something like that. Not to mention a very primitive mind. More imaginative people tend to be more compassionate and moral. This comes with having an expanded rather than a retracted worldview.
All of us have done some sort of evil in our lives but there is something inherently inferior about the people who become radical leftists.
To each his (or her) own.
I cannot see any religion without a component of “free will” or “free choice”. You either choose good or choose evil. God does not make that choice for you. You do. At the end of your life you will actually learn if those choices were for good or for evil — instead of whatever you convinced yourself at the time.
