arguably the reason humans have it tougher than the others is because they can see how things are and simultaneously know how things should be ...God made the world unpleasant so that humans would want to leave it ?
depends whether you think benevolence involves making a prison so delightful that no one wants to leave ...Interesting concept. Fits the facts better than the "benevolent" stereotype.
Good question. Sometimes The four horsemen are generally known as War, Famine, Pestilence and Death (although sometimes Conquest is in place of Pestilence)Rabies - or Small Pox, the Black Plague, Leprosy, HIV, TB, Malaria and so on, things that severely endanger human life - how come they exist?
Did God actually create Rabies?
Birth, death, old age and disease
these are four trade marks of the material world
and frankly, we are so absolutely determined to remain in such a state, that I am convinced that if the material world was even a fraction more pleasant than what it is, it would be impossible to develop the determination to move out.

Anyway, Pestilence rides a pale greenish horse and seems to spread disease. So yeah, I'd say God makes diseases.

in my opinion i dont think God comes into it, i think we (the human race) made the world unpleasant!

You are wrong, God will appear in December 2012..
That's what I've heard over and over through the centuries by hundreds of "believers", but nothing ever happened! I wonder why not?:shrug: Perhaps because there is no God?
But that's a photgraph of a asteroid, is your God an asteroid? :shrug:
At least it brings salvation
