I can see why you would feel that way if you do not believe that you were a part of the agreement before birth. I believe that we freely accepted or volunteered for such roles and that it will all become clear to us once again after death.

Of course I can't prove it and I don't wish to argue about it. I'm merely stating what I believe.

Without my faith I would certainly have been unable to cope with the things which have happened in recent years.

I can also understand your objections to those who blame people's sinful ways for the misfortunes which befall them. None of us are without sin of some kind and it is very wrong to feel superior or "holier than thou" and look down on others.
