the gods are fickle, negligent, and goofy

And yet you worship them?

I much prefer the idea of gods who simply fucked up

They didn't fuck up, though, as discussed above. They were fickle, negligent, and -- goofy hardly covers it. Mindlessly cruel.

to the idea that it's my own fault I'm sick because my ancestors didn't do as they were told

In what possible way would that then be 'your fault'?

If, rather than being born lame, a child is maimed by a drunken driver, they are more directly the victim of sin than the one who is a tragic mistake in a fallen world (who is a victim of sin, but indirectly); are you going to claim that the injury of the car-struck child is the child's 'own fault because [the driver] didn't do as they were told'?

Perhaps 'fault' is the wrong way to look at it; perhaps 'responsibility' is better. That people are born disabled because of the fallen nature of the world, because of the sin of all of us, that means that the fact there are those who are born disabled is our responsibility.
