You could ask a lot of why's, like why agriculture? Many religious myths talk about deities that taught humans how to have agriculture, and God creating this world so humans could plow it and grow monoculture, and yet farming and agriculture are so destructive to the planet and contrary to the life equilibrium on it, that it almost makes humans aliens on this planet. As if God created humans to destroy the life on the planet.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
