Umm, NO. It's what you become as a result of "living" through your hardship that defines your character. The choices you make, the confidence or lack of confidence and how your paradigm changes is what you gain from these situations. If someone dies in a hardship, then for you it is all moot. But in case your are cronically short sighted, you may take what you did or did not choose to do into yor next life.
The Premise is that Sin causes the suffering of humanity.
The claim is that God put a tree down for humans not to eat(knowing they would eat from it) which then caused massive suffering and death.
Question being...Why did God put the tree down knowing they would eat it and knowing they would suffer and die?
The answer was that he did it to "challenge" us in life to strengthen us.
Of course this makes no sense considering suffering and dying doesn't strengthen anything.
So the question still isn't answered. Why did this God plant the tree down KNOWING humans would eat from it and knowing they would suffer from doing so? It couldn't of been a test if he knew the result. That doesn't make sense either.
In effect he intentionally made humanity suffer.
It's like putting a mouse trap down for a hampster. If the hapster goes for the cheese and dies..Then it's his fault!
Bad logic. The hampster has no idea it will die and even if it understood english wouldn't care what you had to say. Hampsters are hampsters and will go for the cheese, It's their nature. Meaning you're responsible for the death of the hampster...Not the hampster.
Another example with humans...A parent lets their child do whatever he wants. Eat candy for breakfast and pizza for dinner. The child gets overweight,Teeth rots out. Child has heart attack at age 12 and dies. The PARENT is responsible for the death of the child. The parent made it possible for the child to do what it wanted and the child did what it wanted even though it was wrong. A good parent wouldn't even give a child options to do those things. Therefor it's child abuse and the parent is 100% responsible.
God planting down a tree KNOWING humans would eat from it makes HIM responsible for the suffering of humans, Not humans. He MADE humans so he knew it was human nature to experiment and do what they aren't supposed to do. He knew they would eat from the tree and then suffer from sin. He still put the tree down. He's responsible..Not humans.
