And as we already know from our own experience and from history, God cannot stop bad things from happening.

Why not?

This is a primary question for many crises of faith.[/quote]

Don't know why God can't stop bad things from happening, but given the many bad things that have happened, including the current pandemic, it's pretty obvious that he can't - or won't.

And history tells us that god is nonetheless praised when the bad thing ends.[/quote]

Watch the Tony Evans video above![/quote]

So God doesn't want the coronavirus for his people, but despite being omnipotent, he can't stop it.  Then people praise him when it finally ends, after much death and destruction. [/quote]

You didn’t watch it, of course. Yes, of course God “could “ stop it immediately.  But that is not always in the best interest of his people. [/quote]

You see, this is the problem that many people have - god is omnipotent, and he COULD stop the immense global suffering, but he doesn't, because he understands what is best and we don't.

Couldn't he at least make us understand?[/quote]

I don't believe there's any religion that says you're entitled to a perfect, trouble-free life on earth. Spiritual growth isn't possible without struggles--if we were all worshipful robots living paradise, we'd basically have spiritual vacuums. And in many religions, death is just a transition, and often a good one. [/quote]
