Mortal:
And therefore, O God, I pray thee, if thou hast one ounce of mercy for
this thy suffering creature, absolve me of having to have free will!
God:
You reject the greatest gift I have given thee?
Mortal:
How can you call that which was forced on me a gift? I have free will,
but not of my own choice. I have never freely chosen to have free will. I
have to have free will, whether I like it or not!

That explanation is indeed much nicer than your former but still is far

no free will. They are in actual sight of me and are so completely
attracted by goodness that they never have even the slightest temptation
toward evil. They really have no choice in the matter. Yet they are
eternally happy even though they have never earned it. So if your rabbi's

Often their payroll-tax contributions are not later tapped by Social

方朝晖 / 文
美国白鲁恂（Lucian W. Pye，1921-2008）在其《亚洲权力与政治：权威的文化维
度》（1985）一书中这样分析中国政治文化：中国人从小在家庭教育中接受了「父亲」
这样的权威，这位「父亲」独一无二，无所不能；独断专行，孤独无依，他所做的一切
又都是为全家著想；这样的「权威」是子女不能挑战或质疑的，质疑或挑战父权等於对
家庭的背叛。这样的家庭教育，导致中国人长大后在政治和社会生活中仍然一直在寻找
这样一位「父亲」--家长式权威（paternalistic authority）--来保护自己。因此中
国式政治权威是「父权型的」（paternalistic），且如下特徵：他无所不能，德性完
备；他独断专行，不能挑战；等等。（Pye，pp. 186，198-200）白鲁恂认为，在上述
父权型权威观念形成后，中国文化中的权力/权威观就具有了如下一些独特的特徵：
1）万能政治观念。中国人心目中理想的政治权威就个人而言是无所不能的(
omnipotent)，就其所代表的力量而言，还必须以解决社会生活中各方面的可能的问题
