The part of the story that always makes me annoyed is the prologue where god creates *everything* and knows *everything*.

So if god knowingly made creatures that he/she KNEW were going to rebel, or if he created them like some cosmic science experiment, how freakin' sadistic IS it to punish them when they act as programmed.

It's the fundamental point of anger in me whenever I think of religions with this whole "God made everything" concept as the basis.
But if you reconsider the relationship between the mind of God and the mind of humans as comparable to the mind of humans and the way computers work, then it makes sense -- in contrast to God, the human mind might be too artifical to warrant serious concern.


A moral being is an entity for whom the disadvantage of others is an issue.
