@creatr Thank you.
Certainly we would not think Mrs. Jones is a bad person, but that is because we understand the short term pain her child went through. But in life there are affliction and suffering that defy any logic. What about SIDs, or parasites that force their way into children's eyes causing blindness, or many others. Clearly, if God is everything somepeople think, he could have and still could create a world where that doesn't happen and we still have free will. To say, well we don't understand it so God has a plan, in my mind, is a bit of a cop out. One of two options is the case.
- Either God can not change the world and we must suffer or
- God doesn't care to change the world even though he could.
Either way, he is either limited, cruel, ir uncaring.
Thank you
