When you make something, say a fine painting do you allow other people to tell you what it is supposed to represent? Or do you name it and tell them what motivated you to create it?
This world is the creation of another, higher being. It does not matter what you think about it, these are the rules that have been laid out and can rest happily in the knowledge that the creator who is all good sees the full picture and formation we do not.
You do not get to question him, what he has decided goes. If you don't like it then well, tough.
Well of course we get to question "him". 'Might makes right' and 'trust the powerful' are two excellent ways to become a hunted man, regardless of whether you agree with them or not. What makes you think this god is a him anyway, let alone a "higher being" (whatever that is)? Or that it created anything?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
