a)sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
b) love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control.
Bible says:
a = the fruit of the flesh - what we are naturally inclined towards without the guidance of the Holy Spirit
b = fruit of the spirit - what we will be inclined towards when we are led by the Holy Spirit of God

I didn't write it, I quoted it:
a = Galatians 5:19-21
b = Galatians 5:22-23

Only those with a certain heart condition will choose 'b' the fruits of the spirit. The rest will mock it and choose 'a.'
I think it is an excellent question, and in all honesty I know that a world where people practice and live by God's good fruits... is what a world of peace and happiness would be - a perfect world - one spoken of often in the book of Isaiah.

B) describes my life and that of my family and friends with reasonable accuracy and we got here without having to believe in the existence of a mythological being. Go Figure! It is time to put away your fairy tale book and grow up and face the real world. It's never too late.

when you put it like that and list out the pro,s and cons I think I would definitely have to go for option A. well come on given a choice between rampant sex, loads of drugs and booze and basically having a party till you dropped and sitting drinking tea with a couple of asexual women what did you expect?.

rofl. Nice way of trying to say your bible solves everything. Sorry, it doesn't. EVERYTHING that you said for a applies to b too. You just don't like to realize that.
So neither. Because this question is meant to cause trouble.

How about where I am:
b (love, joy, etc.) WITHOUT the "Holy Spirit".

So, why do so many Bible believers = a, and so many non-Bible believers = b?
