As far as I can tell, we both speak English. Rather than be pompous and evasive, please defend your statement that humans chose to suffer.

nice try, but i think you're speeking english along with the rest of us. only difference is we don't try to hide behind word meanings.

It would appear it was training initially, of course now that you are aware of an alternative it becomes a conscious choice. Sad, I will pray for you.

How do you explain why God even conceived of evil in the first place?

Please answer my two questions before your prayers?

"Try and understand Genesis Chapter 3."

LOL we could very well say the same thing...

I know you have read it, but you don't seem to grasp how primitive, spiteful, unfair, wacky, not to mention totally false it is.

Try reading it again with your brain on as a 21st century CE person, not 12th BCE...

Also your comment on relating 'faith' to maturity is ridiculous...there are many people here of all ages.

In the typical atheist 'conversion experience' Christianity is actually usually part of a stage of youthful ignorance.

While we both speak english to be sure, we still do not share a common language. I am multi lingual, and as any multi lingual will tell you, there exist concepts that cannot be translated across languages as the cultural base just does not exist.

The lacking common cultural base here is faith.

Please defend your statement that humans chose to suffer. Please explain how this applies to victims of rape, famine, child abuse, disease.

If you do not know, simply say so. But do not make such statements if you are not prepared (or able) to defend them.
