Designer Lion
Why does God punish us for behaving how he designed us to behave?
He knew we would act the way we do, he knew that before he ever made us.
He knew our world wound end up the way it is, he knew people would deny his existence, and he knew that people would also kill in his name.
We are behaving exactly how he knew we would, so why does he get mad about it and punish us?
That is like putting a rabbit in a lion's cage, and getting pissed off at the lion for eating it.
Considering he is the designer, I would think he has no one to blame but himself for our mistakes
First let me say that I don't claim to know what punishment awaits those who are not forgiven of their sins. Spirituality is often conveyed linguistically through metaphor, parable and cetera. So I'm not on board with the literal eternal burning in literal flames doctrine.
Let's set aside those who, by reason of some defect, cannot tell right from wrong. Jesus said, "If you were blind, you would have no sin," so I take that to mean that some are exempt from what is commonly called the Law of Sin and Death. That's just my thinking, so don't quote me out of context, please. But let's set them aside for the sake of this argument and move on to "regular folks," which is we who are not "blind."
The majority of humans have (and I'm speaking from a Christian world view) a knowledge of good and evil. Not all call it that, but there are few who welcome being betrayed, robbed, wounded, deceived or otherwise "wronged." Most of us also recognize that we are hardly capable of suppressing these impulses, and to varying degrees, we all behave "how he designed us to behave." But we also know that some of our behavior is "wrong," and that there are incalculable consequences and ramifications of the choices we make. And we also know that we can't undo most of it once it's done. So God made provision for those who would lament the evil in themselves, and he can and will absolve and eventually (not in this life) undo all the evil that has been done. We recognize evil, realize we are relatively powerless against it and cannot take back the evil words and deeds we have committed. So we ask him for forgiveness and he reckons us righteous by our faith through his grace.
Then there are those who do not accept his forgiveness, claiming some unprecedented autonomy from the plan of the Creator of the cosmos, and these people are left, not so much to be punished for their behavior, but rather to reap the inevitable consequences of the evil they choose not to have lifted from them free of charge.
We aren't the lion, we are the rabbit. The lion is sin. God is there and will make you free by rendering the lion powerless against you, unless you choose to either fight the lion on your own strength or fatalistically allow yourself to be eaten. That isn't life, that's just your relationship to sin. Will pride keep you in the cage, or will a desire for a greater good that you know is beyond your power to appropriate compel you to choose life?
By the way, you'll never be satisfied with "an answer," because you were designed only to be satisfied with "The Answer." It's your choice.
