If a man beat , raped , pillaged , made slaves , murdered etc... and did it all in your name , should we blame you for it ?
aside from the fact that i retracted my comment(a CF first i know), denying something's existence does make blaming them impossible.

If I could easily have stopped them, and didn't, definitely.

I see , so you expect God to intervene when someone sins against someone else , but not to intervene when you sin against someone or force His Lorship on you .

Please explain how it can be both ways .

You cant both have the will to choose what you do , to accept or Reject God and His teachings , and also blame God for not intervening while you refuse His intrusion into your life and make yourself your own judge .

I don't expect anything. You asked a question about someone being responsible for someone else acting in their name. I answered it.

I don't blame god for anything; I don't believe he exists. I merely point out that IF the christian god exists, yes, he is responsible for every bad thing that is done in his name, since he could easily stop it.

I have three daughters, teens.

I encourage abstinence, but would never act a spy on their privet lives...

I have given them tha Catholic cathekes, were they can read about masturbation being a sin, and we can talk about it.

But "punish" - no! If they sin, or reather "when", as we are all sinners, it is between them and God, and their confession father.

It is not my business...

I think that is wise. I would much prefer my young teen to touch than experiment with their boy/girlfriend!

I don't think she ever did, but that, as I told her, is her problem. My son, on the other hand, will probably heed my advice. LOL
