Now tell me again how "people introduced it through sin" and while you're at it, please tell me what lesson this god is teaching us here that could be worth the suffering of more than three hundred thousand innocent newborns and their families each year. Perhaps it was how to reduce the number of NTD cases through the use of Folic Acid? Something else that people introduced into the world to combat the suffering that your god allegedly allows.
Are you speaking of all the non believing drug addicts that selfishly continue to use drugs will carrying a child, or maybe it's all those party girls who drink themselves into oblivion every weekend while carrying a child, or could it be all those women that know they have STD's and yet have children without first getting rid of their STD first. Yes, blame God for these, you are not willing to blame people or help correct these problems.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
