@hakupony you have an interesting argument. @ceruleanspark @hakupony I believe in the freedom to choose, but not freedom from the consequences of our choices. If we choose to drink and drive it is our perogative to do so, but we may suffer social, legal, or mortal consequences. God is far more merciful than the world because he allows us to repent and escape the spiritual consequences of sin through the sacrifical payment of his son Jesus Christ's life and his indescribable spiritual agony in the garden of Gethsemane. Also, thanks to Christ's sacrifice, we are accountable for our decisions only insofar as we understand the truth and have sought truth dilligently. Where spiritual knowledge is brightest there is the greatest potential for happiness which is why we invite others to believe and receive his commandments as an improvment to their lifestyle. Everything god does in for our happiness in this life and the hereafter.
