Responsibility For Quality Of Human Experience

Some seem to suggest that, since believers in God credit God for good fortune, they must also credit God for adversity. This suggestion seems to overlook the apparently Biblically-suggested nature of the human experience.

The Bible seems to suggest that the human experience context that God established ranged from good to very good, in God's apparently omniscient opinion (Genesis 1). Apparently, that context included the possibly highest-privilege-experience of voluntarily choosing to accept God as primary relationship and sovereign authority, rather than being involuntarily hard-wired to comply with God's apparent design of the human experience. Apparently, however, that apparent gift seems to have been bestowed at the expense of gifting the potential to choose another (and apparently therefore, unqualified) primary relationship and sovereign authority and, apparently as a result, an adverse-quality human experience.

Based upon this view and upon the apparent Biblical suggestion that God has offered humanity the further privileges of (a) firsthand recognition of the results of rejecting God as primary relationship and sovereign authority and (b) opportunity to (again) voluntarily restore God as primary relationship and sovereign authority, humans seem most logically-suggested to be the party responsible for the introduction of and continuation of adversity in the human experience.
