Sun: Here is an interesting link on predestination and free will. In no way do I believe that individualism defies religious doctrine. Any person that exercises their personal responsibility to God over other people becomes a danger. Human rights are what protects us against the extreme judgements of religion. This world would be upside down if we let religious leaders have their way with the law.
