In point of fact, I am not claiming universal infallible morals, so I'd expect sociopaths to exist--on the other hand, I'd have to regard God's absolute morals to be shown up as implementation design flaws because of God's inexplicable failure to build humans in such a manner that sociopaths can't exist. Why did God do this? Does God just not give a rip about His Creations? If so, why should we give a rip about Him?

Yes, that's what I thought you said.

The answer to this is very simple, dh. God did not create moral automatons because He created self-directed, self-willed beings, and that, because that is what He is, and it was a perfect creation. But accept responsibility for your own choices, man. You and every other human chose disobedience. Don't blame God.

Why is that difficult to understand?

'The answer to this is very simple, dh.

Try relating to a robot, or even an animal, compared to a living human. There is a difference.

The difference shows relation to God is ultimately, the definition of life.
