Delicate info Regarding Mu, Yahweh and Orion

[Monica]

I agree, but wasn't Yahweh doing what they believed to be the right thing.
Just as a parent would try and help, the infant still has free will.
The parent can't know in advance what the child will do with that - but dose what they think to be the best for the child.

I think we've strayed far from the original analogy, which was to illustrate the wisdom (or lack thereof) of a parent knowingly allowing their child to harm others on a massive scale. This isn't a 'maybe' but after the fact. In this case, the children had already been violent on a massive scale. So to give those children the means to repeat it, would be akin to a parent giving the materials to build a homemade bomb, to a child who has already succeeded in blowing up the school.

The philosophical question is whether giving the child more bomb-making materials, and thus endangering his classmates, is the wisest choice for finding out whether he's learned his lesson or not.

That's the analogy being offered here.

We all know people who are a little lazy and would benefit from helping themselves. It's more situations like this I am referring too - were the best way to 'help' is not always clear cut.

Yes, I agree, it's not always clear-cut.

For purposes of the analogy, I was trying to make the point that we wouldn't let our children harm others, just because they wanted to.
