[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God has intervened in my life a number of times, which indicates to me he/she cares.[/quote]

And why do you think God intervened in your life and not in the life of the 10 year old girl kidnapped from her family by military forces and repeatedly gang raped over the course of months or years?  
I have been devout for my whole life, but I had a real break when reading this story.  It makes it hard for me to understand how any sort of loving God could help me with anything in my life and turn His back on a child like that.  I just don’t get it.[/quote]

Consider that there is no God.  It's random.  He didn't turn his back -- he just doesn't exist.[/quote]

Yes, also possible.  I also feel like God often seems like a kid that got a pet — very into it at first, lost interest, sporadically gets reimvigorated and checks in, but then gets overwhelmed because …. Like an acquarium, it gets dirty, the snails overpopulate, certain species die off, it’s a lot of work, so when first start to eat each other, they start to think “why did I even bother?” and wander away again.

If my kid wasn’t taking care of his pet, I wouldn’t let the pet suffer. I’d make him do it or step in myself. Where is God’s mom?[/quote]
