  One who blames and condemns the Creator for an experience exposes the depth of his ignorance of the way free will works. And then using the sophists argument that it is logical, having so condemned the Creator, to conclude that the Creator deserves no honor for giving us life is like the 90 year old man condemning his parents because he stubbed his toe and believing somehow this logically means they deserve no honor for giving him the gift of life.
  
  A mind with no guardrails to prevent insanity can prove anything from within an errant framework. "Darkness ceases only when light is introduced; so ignorance can only be dispersed by Knowledge; selfishness by Love." —James Allen
