If all that exists was the last hundred years thwn you may have a point.

Even prior to the last century, the overwhelming bulk of human suffering was inflicted by other humans. Slavery, most prominently.

But you can’t just shrug aside the thousands of years before that.

You can go back to The Taiping Rebellion, New World colonization, and the Inquisition to find plenty of fully human made disasters before the last century.

You seem to be forgetting where this conversation started.

You said:

Whether you’re blaming a god or snubbing one, if you’re doing so on the grounds that nobody stopped one human from abusing or neglecting another it would seem like your accusation is misplaced.

I said:

Human suffering doesn’t just come from human actions.

It also comes from natural causes, genetic defects, disasters, disease and parasites

The fact that humans do cause human suffering, which I have never said wasn't the case, does not contradict my statement at all.

Do you think I'm OP?

That wasn't even where my comment started
