It's our fault for making the choice to sin and forcing god to inflict all of those maladies upon us. But it's not his fault, he loves us too much!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Well it's the demons. Demons are responsible for everything from colds to being homosexual.

Death and disease were part of the judgment for Adam's sin.

Yes.

We don't deserve life - we did nothing to get it. We don't deserve the privilege of having each other as a family.

Personally I find life to be a net positive, despite disease and other hardships. When someone gives me a net positive, I'm thankful for it. I don't bitch that they could have possibly given me something better. But hey, that's just me.
