re: #215 Hercules Grytpype-Thynneghazi

Under some circumstances I would enjoy the irony of the fact that those words about “visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon their children” are from the very 10 Commandments that right wingers want posted in all our schools.

But not this week.

I was also thinking that if the God of the Bible is willing to punish the descendants of those who have affronted him, isn’t that the complete opposite of “free will?”

In other words, if you’re going to punish a child for the “sins of the father,” how can it logically follow that that child has free will?
