Some just cheat on the taxes. Some even stop smoking!

Now here is the philosophic mind. "Stop smoking!" you
snort in reply. But think about this critically. It is all about
this matter of "free-will." "Free-will" is always confused
with being able to make choices. That one choses or
decides not to chose quiting smoking is not the issue of
"free-will." For in reality, both have but a single orientation,
a single goal -selfish gain. You quit smoking because
you've seen a close friend just die a horrible death of
emphysema. You quit because the girl that you've had
your eye one has made it quite plain that she doesn't
date smokers, let alone kiss one!. You quit because
there is a "glass ceiling" at work and you never make
it in the upper echelons if you smoke! All are self
oriented "choices."

Evolution cannot produce another inclination. Man
has but one inclination and one only -himself. This
is what separates Christianity from every religion in
the world and history. It alone denies the merit of
merit. "But God...." Eph 2:4. "But God..." Jn 3:16
He did what we are incapable of achieving. Because
we cannot reorient ourselves, He accomplished it.
And because He accomplished it, it is perfect and
needs have nothing added to it. Beyond this, because
there is no merit accomplished by us to gain His
favor, no demerit can lose what is given. Biblical
Christianity stands alone in its intelligent design
and its experiential conformity to what is.
