| | | Why do people die? Why do people die, what kind of benevolent God would allow it to happen, especially when the justification is that some bloke four thousand years back ate an apple, apparently, after being created by a God who gave him the kind of character which meant he was always going to eat the d*mn apple. | | | | | | |

| God gave him that choice and it was for all of us eve disobeyed and ate it...
If she hadnt we would not be living in the wold we do today, everything would be different have you thought about that?It would be a sinless world.
But instead of asking why maybe you should just live with the fact that its never gunna change and give it all to the Lord. |

I believe Adam and Eve(peace be upon them both) were forgiven for their mistakes by the Almighty when they repented.
And I dont believe people being born with sin,all of us are born pure and as we grow older we sin on our own and each of us will be judged according to each one's actions. |

| Everything living dies.....that is the cycle of life....the cycle of aging. This is an immutable truth of Creation.
Many people cannot face the reality of death and prefer to believe in religions that forecast a life after death. |

| If people's bodies didn't die then we'd have a whole lot of problems. You think it's crowded now.
Can you imagine living forever, I can't. We are put on this earth for a relatively short time, everyone has an impact, some positive, some negative. What we do with our lives is up to us, and hopefully when we die we will have left a mark. Death is part of life, you can't have one without the other, the rewards are great if you live a good life. I can't wait to see my parents again, and I believe I will. |

| So true, the issue is that you are trying to judge God, which can not happen since you are viewing it though sinful thoughts and minds.
Is it fair, well God made and created us, we are his and he deserves full worship and devotion, so is it fair that we don't ?? But the main thing is that man ages, our bodies die because sin entered the world. So you need to blame the real problem, which is sin. |
