It's not just Christians. ANY responsible, mature adult, regardless of faith (or lack thereof) takes personal responsibility for their actions. Let's say I'm Christian, if I screw up, *I* screwed up. God didn't MAKE me screw up. That's what free will is. No where in the bible does it say "You aren't responsible for screwing up." It does say that you're forgiven if (and when) you do. But it never says your screw ups aren't your own fault. It also says you have to repent, which means be truly sorry for your mistake and no do it again. It's not a simple matter of saying the words. It's meaning it in your heart.
