Suffering wasn't "necessary" according to your bible since man was originally created without suffering correct? I don't think we blame God for anything, just like I don't blame Santa Clause for not getting what I want for Christmas.
I get it. You don't blame God for anything because you don't believe he exists, but everybody has their idea of how he should act if he did. Most atheists seem to think that as long as there is suffering in the world that there could not be a loving God. I don't believe that because there is suffering here that God is not loving and I'm not trying to second guess him. Some things need to be as they are for reasons we don't know.

So you're saying that people are not the cause of any suffering in the world if, indeed, there is a God? And if there is a God, we have no responsibility to help others?
