No, since I don't believe in any gods, I do credit all the bad stuff to you too. The difference being that errare humanum est or shit happens when you party naked. When I make mistakes I hope that those around me (if affected) can forgive me If I promise not to do it again. When gods come into the picture, I tend to talk about them on a hypothetical plane, as in "if gods existed and made you the way you are and you do 'evil', why does he let you suffer for that instead of making you 'perfect' from the beginning?". I'm sorry if I came off as condescending, I (as a fellow human being) wanted to say that it's ok to be just that, human.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
