  Richard, I can't hope to be as theologically artulicate as you. However, here are some thoughts from my experience as a psychotherapist: I have been struck and humbled by patients who have come from chaotic homes, where the parents were living terribly immoral lives, and these patients have been able to step back and say, I'm not going there with my life. The ones who have been successful at not going there attribute it to somebody taking them to church, where they met the Savior, and He not only delivered them from the stain of sin, but from the life-track laid out for them. They may still have emotional issues (hence the psychotherapy) but their lives are vastly better than siblings without faith.Also, the more we know about genetic and environmental influences on behavior, the more we realize that it's just tough to break out from a bad legacy. We truly need a Savior. If we excuse bad behavior, thinking the poor things can't help it, we are not doing people a favor. God's moral law is for our good, individually and collectively. However, while we can't excuse it, understanding that those of us with a good legacy have an incredible leg up on those without it, helps us to have compassion on our fellow man. I really love my work at the state hospital. In order to do it, I have had to learn to not be shocked by anything people might do, though. Or at least to hide my shock. And, for my own sanity, it's crucial that I also hold on to the faith that people can change. It might not happen that often, but they can.
