That's a little laughable, original sin is attached to the body. If, as we've been elaborating, the soul comes into existence rather than being eternal, then it would have to be created by God and therefore it would be without sin. It must therefore be that the soul receives sin from admixture with the body.
As to the first bit, I don't know what you're on about, I specifically said reincarnation was a cumbersome device which leads to determinism.

Also, this is typical secularist talk. Perfection in God's eyes would be total acceptance, humility and obedience to Him. God doesn't give two shits about the fact that you wanted to be born a 6'4" Chad. Only your moral actions on a metaphysical level matter to Him, you're whining, and btw Satan had similar objections before his fall, so by complaining you are dabbling in metaphysical evil.

Good job. If that cripple guy with a tumor on his face growing day by day as he looks at the mirror is maybe Gods plan.
I guess its supposed to make us accept life even though its just shit.
How does reincarnation lead to determinism anyways?
So God just creates us just for us to experience original sin.

That pic reminded me of this old thing.

The reason why God created people such as yourself is that you might yet reach salvation.

I think Gods plan for you is for me to feel better about myself

Precisely, although the fact that you still object means that you have a ways to go to said acceptance, but you will have to be accepting in the end or you embark on the road of anger and hate. To quote Yoda, the dark side.
Reincarnation doesn't, but the doctrine of an immortal and eternal soul does lead to determinism unless you also accept reincarnation. If your soul always existed, then God has been interfering in the universe to make sure you exist here and now, if this is the only life you get. But if you get many lives, then God doesn't have to care so much.
But reincarnation has another problem, namely there are more human souls on earth now than there ever existed at one time in the past, so where do we get the additional souls from?
Once again, you have to take it on faith that when God saw that His creation was good in Genesis, he actually meant it. Despite all the suffering it contains, God has blessed it. The leap of faith you haven't taken is that the world is fair.
Umm, I don't know
How much Ayn Rand have you read? lol
Jason Campbell
Yeah. I know deep inside me that God is ultimately just and loving but i just cant make it reasonable somehow.

Karma plays role in what type of world you live in. I still find this concept absurd. What do i have to do to become a zebra or what does the zebra have to doto become me?
