This worlds carrot is eating,drinking,property,and sex/marage.
These things are more often good than bad, depending on how they are used.
Your depiction of a donkey being led by a carrot is not good. The donkey and the rider are being led over a cliff. Is this what God does with us. In addition, the donkey looks thin and miserable.
------------------------------------------ Jude 1:18 ESV They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”
2 Peter 3:3-4 ESV Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”
Paul advises believers to "test the spirits" indicating that scepticism can be healthy. Of course, believers regard disagreement with their cherished beliefs as scoffing.
-------------------------------------- 2 Corinthians 4:4 ESV In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Even God takes responsibility for the beliefs of unbelievers.
