You only have part of the picture, unfortunately. You neglect the fact that no one has the right to do wrong. You may have the power to do so, but not the right.

The proof is in the pudding, EV. People have the *right* to do wrong. They have free will - free choice. If people did not have the *right* to do wrong - there would be no wrong. A *right* is similar to a *freedom*. You have the *right* to fail - you have the *right* to lie - you have the *right* to break the law ( and be prosecuted for it). You have the *right* to sin. Ask Newt - he committed adultery. He had the *right* and the *freedom* to do it.

Wrong. Folks like you just think you have the right to do wrong, because you fail to reverence God, or acknowledge His ultimate sovereignty.
