I'm not seeing the contradiction, but here is another try:

All men are selfish (sin).

Selfishness causes suffering.

So, since all men are selfish and selfishness causes suffering, all men suffer.

Now - get me here - I am not promoting simplistic Karma where men "get what they deserve". Instead, in a simplistic analogy, imagine a room full of men and all the men have pistols and fire them randomly about themselves all of the time. (the bullets would be our selfish behavior). Eventually, everyone would be hit (and thus, suffer)

I won't be able to respond until Tuesday since I will be computer-less for the weekend.
