wants us to suffer for other peoples sins, or maybe due to the sins of our parents, could also be the greed of industry where some unkown chemical screwed us up either in the womb or out of it. What intrigues me the most is why do our minds ask these questions and need to have reasons? Why do animals suffer? I checked out a large vet book on dogs, and there are zillions of diseases and they suffer just as much as we do, I was comforting my pup when he stubbed his toe yesterday, he was crying like a baby, but yet we are told that only humans should suffer because of original sin. Doesn't make any sense, suffering doesn't make any sense, sacrificing other humans or even the Son of God so that others may have it better doesn't make any sense. Why should some have to suffer so others have it better? What's this stuff about being equal? Maybe someday these questions will be answered and maybe what we got so far are just fairy tales like the Easter Bunny.
