Because well that's a simple answer to a question that man CAN NOT POSSIBLY ANSWER. Man likes to think that God, thinks like him, "I'm molded after him therefore he/she must think like me." When in all actuality that is not the case. Life deals out ****ty hands man, I know because I was dealt one. But that doesn't mean it's the fault of my creator. The design was perfect. The patent was perfect, what I do, did and will continue to do with the design is entirely up to me. Do you (general you Lil) blame Ford if you buy a truck and it brakes down ten years after you buy it? Hardly. Why is God so different? The simple fact is we make our own choices, and I don't buy into the religious propaganda that is either you believe in God or you don't because that is man basically saying join my club or I won't like you. Having a connection to something deeper then your own understanding is completely worth while.
