If humans in fact have free will (a subject I'll not debate) then no deity can be responsible for human actions. Only a deity which cared nothing for men would create beings with a sense of sin and no free will (I understand that some Christians have actually preached this as truth). On the other hand, were you a deity who created beings with free will, and you found these beings doing foolish, malicious, dangerous things with your gift wouldn't you be just a tad annoyed? Maybe annoyed enough to let the Four Horsemen ride? Randolph Fritz {philabs, allegra!sunrise}!wu1!rf
