Which objectively pales in comparison to all the pain and suffering inflicted on man by random accidents, natural disasters, biological threats and other causes in which humans are not responsible and have little or no capacity to control or defend against.

Now, in a universe that is a deliberate and precise creation, in which humans had absolutely no say whatsoever, who gets the blame for these?
