My Issue With Religion

No .. babies are totally innocent at birth.
It is their parents/environment that might cause them to go astray.


As above.
When we get to the "age of consent" i.e. adult, we are held resonsible for our actions

Temptation to do wrong is always present, but we are expected to control ourselves.
Most people would think that reasonable.
i.e. that most people are able to control themselves .. hence free-will

I've been arguing there is no free will. Check out my responses on this thread. Sorry, I do not get long on the web and cannot respond to everyone.

yet most good people tend to be reasonably well educated and working and of a certain nature.

I must take issue with this. I was raised by my grandparents. Beyond basic literacy, they had no education. Yet they were as good as any two people I have ever met. As for working, is a rise in unemployment followed by an equivalent rise in bad behaviour?
