Jesus and free will

Yes, and I'm not denying the fact that many children have wonderful lives. But in order for those children to be born and to have those wonderful lives, the parents have to spin the roulette wheel, and inevitably that process is going to create some people who are very much not thankful for the 'opportunity to experience life'. So when you look at it this way; the cost of your existence is the poor miserable disabled wretch who has to spend his entire existence having other people change his soiled nappies and wipe his nose. And your answer to this conundrum? 'It's worth the suffering of those 'losers' because I'm having a great time, and they're the ones having to pay for my great time and not me.'

I'm not drawing any causal link between the pampered first world atheist and the Bangladeshi sweatshop worker; although the latter will spend his entire life being oppressed in order to make the existence of the former a little bit easier. But I suppose it's worth the suffering of the child slave in the Bangladeshi clothes factory so that you will be able to buy your own clothes cheaply, right?

If we're going to bring new life in to this world, then it should behoove us to ensure that it is going to be fair and safe for absolutely everyone before we do it, and that there are only winners and never losers. Otherwise, you are basically behaving like that despot from the Old Testament who you would undoubtedly criticise for being derelict in his duty of care.
