you do not lack a conscience or compassion - which would classify you as a sociopath

That's really a pathetic analogy, d.

All men are fallen and anything not of faith is sin. Therefore, any good works we might do will come from God, according to His will for us. He gives us a new heart. He gives us new eyes and ears. He changes our wills from disobedient to obedient. He renews our minds and turns us from our wants to His.

Where's the Scripture that says God does not do all this, because you've been given massive amounts of Scripture that say these very things?

you have had your wants changed by God

Thank God.

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)" -- Ephesians 2:1-5
