God supposedly created everything, right? And just about everyone will agree that natural law exists. Therefore, God must've created natural law. If so, why does it involve starvation? Dehydration? Asphyxiation? Why do buildings crush and kill living things when they collapse? God, being omniscient, would've known how fragile mankind would be if confronted with the natural world; if he was so loving, why couldn't he have made cravity so that it doesn't pull clumsy rock climbers to messy, splattery death?
Oh, I know! Let's blame it on the mythological First Man's "Original Sin," "And the Tree whose mortal taste brought Death to the world, and all our woe!" Of course, Adam is most likely allegorical, since Moses, who lived several thousand years after the Flood, supposedly wrote the Pentateuch. In the time between the Flood and the Fall, many generations grew old and died, Babel had fallen and confused the languages, and lots of obfusication crept into the oral histories of mankind.
And why should people have to die because of what our alleged "ultimate ancestors" did awons ago? Is that really just? Punish the offspring for an infinate number of generations for knowing good from evil?
If they didn't know that disobedience was evil, why should they be punished at all? They had no moral compass when they ate of the Tree. That's like punishing a lion for "murdering" an antelope. Rediculus.
Bad things happen, if God exists he lets them. He has the Power but not the Will, or the Will without Power. Or maybe he has neither. Maybe man dies because he is just another animal, and is subject to nature because he is a part of it. Maybe it is only our egos that make us seem superior. Maybe we are so insecure in our mortality they need to invent a zombie Jew and his divine Father to pat us on the back and say "Well done, my good and faithful servant."
