What if we say "you" is plural...meaning ALL OF US. Are we, as parts of the lifeform known as humanity, incapable of handling this? Or, you could change perspectives.

It also makes it so that if you want to abuse others and profit from it, you can just say "this is god's doing, not mine.. I'm just doing what god wants". Why does that argument not work for rapists and child molesters, I wonder?

Because the last time I saw that quote it was some nonsense about God not giving us more than we can handle (if only we believed). Which makes God a rather sadistic bastard when that's thought through. Don't believe in me? Well screw you, you're on your own. Believe in me, well, then I, as deity and supreme knower of everything (just trust me on this), think you can handle rape/incest/death/war/famine/persecution/reality TV.
