He also said "And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." Now, who could disagree with that?!

Righto! Adam was not deceived. He was willfully disobedient to God's command.

But even real cruelty is just part of the spectrum of human behavior. Even children can exhibit real cruelty unless taught better.

Is there something in particular that is bothering you Matt? I see you posting a lot of questions... and you seem troubled... something I can help with maybe?

Oh no nothing in particular, my mind just drifts everywhere with my own thoughts. Thank you though.

Just imagine what life would be like if there wasn't just a tiny bit of cruelty in people. All the great practical jokes that would have never taken place!

I agree that we all need a mixture, but what I'm trying to get at really is why people feel the need to be hurtfully cruel, why do some people not realize they're being cruel when it's completely obvious to everyone around them, why do some people not care that they're cruel...but life would be boring if we were all happy go lucky. Much mo betta?
