1) The Reason God Gave Humans Responsibility You may think lightly of responsibility, but without it, history cannot move on. Why did God give responsibility? God gave a commandment not to eat because He gave responsibility. If he had not given responsibility, it would mean that people should start making love even when they are infants; there would be no puberty. Puberty is a time when love matures and man and woman learn about each other. The question is why God gave responsibility. It is in order to raise us up until the time of puberty. Without it, people would have to be married from the time of childhood, right? Do they know what marriage is? They cannot be married. So they should wait until they are grown up through the period of maturation. Men and women should become physically mature. After maturation, even grasshoppers know how to find their mates, and why would people not know this? They can find their own spouses. (133-106)
