"you are responsible for your actions"

"The devil made me do it" is a crock.  We have free will.  What we do, how we behave, the choices we make, are all ours to make.  I do happen to believe that there is a negative force existing in our universe, but that's not the point.

Whether you believe that a negative force exists in the universe or not, that's I guess your business.  Among those that do, however, some make the mistake of holding this force responsible--blaming something external rather than holding themselves accountable for their own missteps--because it's far too difficult to examine themselves.  Which totally baffles me, because you'd think that a person believing in an all-powerful, omnicient God that created him/her with a free will would realize that this God will not buy into "the devil made me do it" on his/her judgment day.

So my two cents is if you believe that you are being swayed by a negative force, then you are not living authentically.

Good post, Kooka.  Very thought provoking.
