If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist

[arewethereyet]

Did not God create us to have the desires, drives, and senations that we do? Didn't he make us, for instance, not only capable of enjoying food, but capable of enjoying it too much? Our natures are God-given, are they not? We could easily have been fine-tuned to be more easily satiated, for instance.

He could have, you are right... If the point was to live a certain way. If this were the case their would not need to to provide any way to atone for sin.

Most people get hung up on the do's and don't of sin. while they are a major component of sin, the whole point of sin itself is to provide Choice. If sin is anything outside the expressed will of God then that essentially makes sin the choice to be, or rather stay outside of the will of God. Which makes you a servant to sin and satan.

That's why All sin is the same to God or rather meets the same end. as it all boils down to, do you choose to serve God and righteousness? or Sin and satan?

Obviously not a Catholic where not all sins are created equal.  Neither are the punishments the same for all.  And you can pray away your sins.  The Etch-a-Sketch method of having a clean slate.  Say five Hail Marys, an Our Father, and The Act of Contrition.  See ya next week.
