I have a few questions though for all who believe in original sin, given that sin had entered the world why did god allow more people to be born he could simply have stopped procreation and allowed the generation of sin to die out, just like he barred a generation of Israelites from entering the promised land because of sin.
Question 1
If he had simply stopped reproduction then only those responsible will have suffered, instead of the insanity of being born to abusers, religious nut jobs, along with death disease and suffering then he could simply have started again. We do it it with cattle, animals, even humans if they have a disease that threatens the rest of us or the rest of a heard of cattle, they isolate and often kill the diseased cattle to stop it infecting others.
I'm not asking why god allows suffering, but rather why he allowed people to be born who had not even existed before procreation to enter a world of suffering?
So that he could have eternal fellowship with those of us who want it.
Question for OP: Do you think life in this world is a net good, despite the suffering?
