    Hi Michael, and you'd like to blame God, huh?

    It's been a while now since God created humans, is that true?

    You will absolutely NEVER believe that there's a reason,

    so....hmm...can't see you being able to hear how it is.

    Well, let's try another way: in our body, we have organisms (yuch, huh?)

    that live in the gut. They are called aerobic (weird for a Christian to

    know any science, huh?...according to those smart ones)...

    but anyway, they are aerobic...but ARE they?

    They are and they're not, now what is it???

    Depends on what happens. They can do the job well, or

    they can ...DEVOLVE...uh,oh...and become anaerobic,

    and ...do bad things, join the enemy, cause diseases.

    This example is not as good as what the bible does teach

    but I don't think you'd like that, so we'll stay with

    science....

    So the SAME cells can go either way.

    Same with people.

    And then there's epigenetics which if you google it, you'll

    see what happens if you keep going the way you are now!!

    Satan is in charge of the world...

    (Revelation 12:12) On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.”

    Until Satan is removed, we will have trouble...

    (Revelation 20:1-3) And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while.

    Because the fallen angel know as Satan is in control of the earth and on top of this was recently thrown from the heavens along with the demons to cleanse them resulting in obvious consequences to the earth due to his increased presence and attention.

    (1 John 5:19) “We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one.”

    (Revelation 12:9) So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

    But God gave us free will , and that will made us susceptible to being convinced to eat the forbidden fruit , much like Pandora's box in Greek mythology it unleashed evil which was allowed to fester from our resentment of being kicked out of Eden .

    God created us in his image, so I believe people are good by nature. Unfortunately, humans are weak, in a sense that we are easily tempted with riches, honors, power, lust and many more. I think it is our task to struggle to find what is good for us. We should do what God said, love thy neighbor, we shouldn't hate each other.

    God is fictional.
