Wow. I congratulate you all on how stupid you are. First of all: air is a flowing element. There are no sudden movements and jabs like lightning. Fire bending is quick, sorta flowing (depends on the season, I'm referring to season 3), and focuses more on power. Lightning is powerful, and deadly. Fire, the element of power, should have the sub element that is the most deadly and most powerful, don't you think? Oh yeah, you don't. Never mind. Anyways, let me ask you: would peaceful monks, representatives of their element, kill people using lightning? I highly doubt that. Air is the one element that doesn't have a lethal move (well, somehow Gyatso got out of that but still) air is the most peaceful of all elements. Fire is the element of power and ambition. Power is something that lightning has and ambition is what you need to use lightning in the first place. Another thing is that lightning was used to make the elements more equal to each other. I think that the creators felt that seeing a person getting struck by lightning was much better than seeing a person getting burned to death and made sure that firebenders couldn't attack as well because of that. (This is the reason I think that firebenders would have been much more powerful had it not been for censors...)

Oh yes, we can create electricity in our body. You know, in order, for example, to hear the body sends electrical impulses from the inner ear to the brain... Don't you guys already know that? Firebenders are probably the only ones with the capabilities to use that in order to use it for destruction (and the fact that it is fiction helps, too...)
