Three Minute Philosophy - John Locke

It's back! I told you it would be back.

Please ignore that I keep saying "blank state" instead of "blank slate". It means the same damn thing doesn't it.

@SansAuthoritas I would not debate the intent of the concept of the Grace of God, like some hair splitter with you You know what you mean and i know what you mean. Only, I would tell you that for me, God id a myth and a poem I cannot do without. I love it all the more knowing then how fragile it is, And how easily corrupted. I have never met God.

@SansAuthoritas That's a good response, too. You must Choose or you a clockwork orange. And it's not that people don't know what is just, but you have to care to chose it. Do you feel the Political system in the Bible looks closer to a constitutional monarchy or a Federalist republic in spirit? I see both there.

You cannot force someone to be good. Virtue is the freely-willed repetition of good acts: good habits. It cannot be imposed via edict. Goodness comes from within and flows outward.

@rgaleny

Humans are mostly good by nature. Some are born with certain predispositions that make them more susceptible to certain vices, or more easily able to practice certain virtues. I'm sure you've met people who are very easy-going, while some are irascible by nature. Men must work toward improving themselves, by cooperating with the grace of God.
