Responsibilty vs Accountability: Purpose or Destiny

Have you been pondering what I have been pondering? If someone does something negative to you, say scam you out of money, is it their fault or yours for allowing yourself to be scammed? Today, I begin a series of blog posts exploring that very point. This can be extended out to any situation. Are you at fault for the circumstances of your life or is it because of the choices of others more than your own? Who is accountable? Who is responsibile? Does it even matter? Where is God in all of this? In the course of kicking around these ideas a lot of topics will come up. Things like Predestination, Destiny, Purpose, Theodicy, Free Will, and choice will come up with History, Philosophy, and Theology in the backdrop. If you want to explore such things please follow my blog and comment. My goal will to use The Bible, movies, Philosophy, History, and whatever else I can to discuss answers to these and other questions that will tangentially come about. Thanks for riding this ride with me.
