Whenever I ask why is there evil and misery in the world I am told all evil came after, and because of, man's original sin.
Ok, it's hard for anyone to disagree that the instinct for an animal (or human) to kill another living thing to survive is a very evil concept by anyone's standards. So, if every possible type of evil was caused by man himself, after the original sin, how did any living thing survive beforehand? Did they eat each other? But that was started afterwards, wasn't it? Or is the garden of Eden idea just meant to be symbolic and that presents an easy answer for anyone explaining away this idea. My point is that I find it difficult to bellieve that the basic instinct of kill to survive was created by any loving Deity. So, survival, along with death, fear etc. etc. all came after sin? Hmm...
