Leibniz

This weeks reading was extremely interesting in my opinion. It goes on to talk about morality, mans free will, and Gods predestination. It explains how, even though god may have predestined every thing to happen through cause and effect, man is still not vindicated of our sin. This got me thinking of another article I once read, speaking of whether man had true 'free will'. It explained that in the cause and effect universe that we live in free will in it's truest form can not be achieved by man because every single choice we have ever made, everything we've done, said, and thought are due to a virtually endless chain of events that have led to the cause, being your decisions. So even though you may thing you made this decision, you really had no control over what you chose because it had been caused by any number of things. So in actuality if someone is 'evil' or does something 'evil', they themselves are not exactly to blame. But it doesn't free them of the consequences of these wrong doings of course, because they could very well do it again given the opportunity.  Over all I really liked this reading. Really got you thinking.
