I know what you are saying: we are born and is unfair in certain regards — some people are more blessed or lucky — but we shouldn’t point the finger at God. And somebody who does is sinning because he is not loving God at that point, or is accusing him of some injustice.

I’m sure God would forgive this person, but would the person forgive God for not playing fair? If you see a father give one of his children many gifts but give lesser gifts or no gifts to his other children, wouldn’t they feel that their father is unjust, is not playing fair, is playing favorites?

And if you say nature gives us all sorts of unequal gifts. Shouldn’t God correct nature? Nature too has fallen and should be corrected to show God’s bounty and equality among his children.
