If we drive carefully due to our NATURE it isn't really a decision based on alternative choices.
It is if we are aware of those choices and have the opportunity to make them.
Religion makes us out to be sinners by NATURE. The nature of a sinner is to sin, after all and the wages of sin is death. That, the bible tells us, is WHY we have to die.
But, the CHOICE to overcome our own nature comes from where?
It lies OUTSIDE ourselves. God GIVES us the ability to choose a godly nature, we are told.
To those whom God does NOT give this choice only destruction can follow.
The "natural" starting point of the innocent or a sinner isn't necessarily their ending point. Freedom of choice, plus the grace of God, allows either to end up wherever they prefer. Freedom of choice cuts both ways. It gives a lot of fallout in both directions.
Denominations argue about the difficulty of reconciling free choice with the sovereign choices of God. It seems a lot like how our scientists talk about things that are beyond the reach of a microscope or telescope, so the ideas are always incomplete--and always will be for our understanding. Nonetheless we find that many models scientists present, even though they sometimes conflict or seem absurd, are useful and true from certain, if not all, standpoints.
I have to get going and so I can't say more in response for a long while. SORRY.
