No one can make you do something. You're accountable for anything you do. Everything you do is your own choice. That's the hardest part. I just remembered my family sentenced me in Florida because I was not completely aligned with the idea that murder is the worst crime. I just think that they figure it out this way: "Well, if you'd like to be a good person like us, the least you could do is being aligned with the idea that murder is the worst crime, and if you don't believe murder is the worst crime it shows your judgement and discernment skills about other sins and forms of evil is biased and not trustworthy." But the reason why they did that is because they were sinners and evildoers and felt threatened by the knowledge they knew God would give me throughout the course of my life, and felt threatened by the inevitable impending outcome that is the exposure of darkness by the light of Christ. The fact that I don't think that murder is the worst crime doesn't show my judgement and discernment skills about other sins and forms of evil is biased and not trustworthy, but the exact opposite. (Repeat, but the exact opposite.) The treacherous way they use to justify themselves is a greater sin. It's an examination and a cross-examination combined. They put you into a position to force you to process an idea in your head and take advantage of that moment when they are unsupervised to do bad things, worse things, behind the façade, while the façade says it's less bad, it's less important than the assassinations, but it's not. It's a covert way to be at the "positive" "fortunate" side of the root of evil that ensures the perpetuation of all the evil that is going on around the world. It's an evil way of applying pressure on people to make them do things they don't want to do. We always come back to the starting point. No one can make you do something. You're accountable for anything you do, it's all your own choice. Yes, but we can examine and cross-examine what it exactly means given the fact that manipulating is a possibility.
