The reasons for the existence of those things varies with the religions, but consider this: how many people curse God for the existence of death? Some people do every now and then, but death is everywhere in our world. Why aren't these people cursing God all of the time or more often?

Ah, yeah, we had an interesting
similar discussion back when the show was airing. I agree that there are definitely religious allusions in all of this that raise some very interesting questions to ponder. This is exactly the reason I'm quite fond of this show, "storytelling flaws" and all.
