The tired old fiction that “sin causes suffering” needs to be put down. What did the family of the toddler do to deserve him being killed by an alligator at Disney World? What sin did the toddler commit to cause his suffering in being drowned by an alligator? Quit with this garbage.

This comes straight out of new age religion - karma.

First, there is a higher level of understanding what we are not privy to.

Second, death is an end to suffering, it is not suffering. The short period of pain prior to death is nothing in comparison to the Love an bliss after you die.

Sin creates an obstacle to Love in our soul which creates suffering. It’s why Jesus healed people by saying “You are forgiven.”
