anything you cannot solve is your fault, no matter what. ...

If I don't know the particulars to a problem, or have no experience with it, all I can do is deal with it when I realize it for what it is.  I don't know everything and am not responsible for other people's actions, even if a politician make a law that I disagree with.  Vote him/her out?  Doesn't work.

"Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the result to be different."                                                                            
                                                           --Glenn Beck, conservative cable political commentator.

...you can't avoid it no matter what, you can deny it but you will - always be at fault.

An example of my point:
Some religionists may say I'm responsible so the Original Sin in the Garden of Eden.  Because Adam sinned, I'm also responsible.  Really, some would.  Because I'm a Jew, and I wasn't then and there, and I refuse to take the blame for Adam's and Eve's actions.

I'm not "at fault" for something I didn't do.  I recognize I have my problems, but no one will deal with them but me in my own time.  That is my responsibility, and I can accept that.

That's the extent of my belief system I've decided to relate to you.

you will never settle yourself until you agree, like I said, you can deny it all you want, everyone is guilty unless they can come up with an answer to the problem and deliver it. if you can not solve it then you are just as guilty as the one who committed it. laws of nature undiscovered! I have read the bible hundreds of times, if you even think it you are guilty of doing it. even as an Atheist I hold some value in ancient scripture absolute.

I've perceived things I understand, but refuse to tell you:

"Anyone who tells the absolute truth to someone who doesn't deserve it, is partly responsible for the indiscretions the other person causes."
--Theosophist doctrine
(And I'm not a follower of their religion just accept this one quotation as being valid to me.)

the important thing is we survived and we did survive, without, any God.

"You can follow your Path and I can follow mine.  The destination is the same."
--Theosophist doctrine

You can follow your Path and I can follow mine.  The destination is the same."

How true! you are very wise. I don't say that lightly. besides, there is nothing in your head that has not been discovered in another mind. it holds true for even those you would call your enemy.
