Chapter 11.“Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.”
Based on my religion and my views, I do not believe that freedom = sin. Sin is an absence of God's Law in certain aspects of your life while freedom is the ability to choose albeit within God's Law and Man's Law. They both have limits and restrictions.
What differentiates us from all of other God's creations are that he gave us the ability to make choices. He gave us the choice to either love, obey him and follow his word, or sin and disdain him.
Freedom is not the cause of sin, for there are many persons who live freely who chose different paths that would not lead to destruction or immoral acts. I believe Amsterdam is a city of sin, not because it originated that way, but persons made choices to live a certain way that conflicts with the ways of God and that is the cause of Amsterdam's image to others.
