Why do parents have children knowing they will go through pain and suffering and eventually die? Also, your view of the history of the Bible is not very accurate. That is not answer it is a question. And My view is inaccurate in what way? I posted my sources, my views are based on these. If you hav...

I agree with you there but it wasn't always like that. Also if you would ask people in some parts of the world they may not feel that way.
