I have been blocked by a certain gentleman whose name is one letter away from that of the creator of "Robot Chicken".

This "creator", who apparently made everything, made such a botch up we should be worshipping Dr Frankenstein. And yet, we are not expected to ask questions. In act, we're told we are wrong to wonder about it. And when I hear "he gave us free will", it is not exactly free will, is it? "Worship me or I'll wipe you out". If any national leader has such an attitude, he/she would rightly be called dictatorial. Why is this "god" any different?

@Amish Or more likely...people, on their own volition,have decided just to work and push for change. For whatever reason. When people are badly injured inwork, it makes sense to find a way to make that task less dangerous. Managers aren't bothered, as long as the work gets done, but it takes the actions of workers' representatives to put faults right. As far as anyone knows, no thought was given about god or faith. Similar with the health service. I am becoming alarmed at the comments denegrating medical science services, it has to be said, made by christians on this site, (some of them devout followers of conspiracy theories), outrightly saying people don't need doctors or medical staff to help them to get better, that hospitals are death factories, and vaccines do more harm than good, and everyone must put faith in a god to get better, even implying if anyone seeks to get better through medical means, is putting their soul in danger of damnation. It's that kind of attitude that gets my back up about christians.

@jackieash Solving problems is important in life but there is more than this life, there is the next life. Far right christians are people who say they trust in God but they really trust in political leaders and this world more than live for God and the next life. I for one don't live for this world and wont follow political leaders. I believe in unions, and I believe in equal rights for all but I pray more than engage politically.
I respect doctors and nurses but I don't believe doctors know everything. I take vaccines on occasion and I have checkups of course but I wont take any meds besides antibiotics and other short term meds, no pain pills or operations if I can avoid them. Exercise and good nutrition helps us more than meds I think. Hospitals are great but I will prefer to die at home around family than in a hospital. I do admire nurses and doctors for their education, and hard work though.

Even when I was still a church going Christian I could never make this make sense and neither could any priest. I stuck around for awhile not because I believed any of it but because there were good people who cared about their community in the church. Once I moved from that community there was nothing keeping me to that religion. I was about 14 and never looked back and it just seems more bizarre the older I get.

You did not summarize what he said correctly! He wrote the truth! If you don't understand what the Bible says don't blame it on other people.

@CorvusBlackthorne Why did you say that?
@Carazaa I was mistaken.

God did not want a robot per se, and he gave us "Free Will," which resulted in sin occurring.

i am xtian but i am not a child. the teachings of the past were intended for the societies and sensibilities of the past. it's an individual quest for answers to questions now. for example, i watched this beautiful doc on netflix about an amazon jungle tribe, and their elder explained in great detail their creation story. it was wonderful and meaningful to them. will i get any benefit from trying to shoehorn myself into that picture?
The "O Felix Culpa" - often associated more with the Eastern Orthodox Church - posits that the "fall" was a necessary evil, to bring forth a greater good.
Part of the idea is that to create people totally incapable of "sin" would be to create robots - thus we have "freedom" to choose.
Whatever, being a non-theist I consider all such speculations a hindrance to finding the path to the end of suffering.
