It’s Official: You Are Not Responsible for Your Actions
More lunacy absolving us from our actions.
Study says millions have ‘rage’ disorder
(LINDSEY TANNER, AP Medical Writer, Mon Jun 5) CHICAGO - To you, that angry, horn-blasting tailgater is suffering from road rage. But doctors have another name for it ’intermittent explosive disorder’ and a new study suggests it is far more common than they realized, affecting up to 16 million Americans.‘People think it’s bad behavior and that you just need an attitude adjustment, but what they don’t know … is that there’s a biology and cognitive science to this,’ said Dr. Emil Coccaro, chairman of psychiatry at the University of Chicago’s medical school.
I would rather take responsibility for my own actions than blame a fictitious disorder. Our actions have consequences. It’s time we recognized that.
Paul recognized it: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” (Galations 6:7-8, NKJV)
