[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of God would allow THAT?[/quote]
You sound like a jerk. Never say that to a person who is going thru something terrible[/quote]

How is that a jerky response?

We can't question horrible acts?  Why does God allow children to be raped? Why does God allow people to be swept away in storms?  Why does God allow the death of babies?  the beating of animals?  acts of terrorism in the name of some god or "God?"

Smart people question; blind followers are just that - blind.[/quote]

It’s called man’s free will.  And, sin.  [/quote]

What about those who die painful, early deaths from diseases such as cancer? Man's free will & sin generally don't factor into these deaths so why does a so-called loving God allow this?[/quote]

For a person who doesn't believe in a higher power you sure reserve a lot of bitterness toward the gods of others. And why aren't you railing against all gods, why just the one? [/quote]

Um, I'm the PP directly above you & that was my first post. I'm not expressing any bitterness toward a particular God, just asking a question.[/quote]

This has been answered on this forum by believers of different faiths. Why doesn't God save us all from suffering? Because life isn't without suffering. Disease happens. Cancer happens.[/quote]

Religion claims purpose, therefore "it just is" as an answer is circular and not a satisfactory answer. As long as there is no satisfactory answer, people will continue to ask. Religion claims that it has the answer to why we are here, the meaning of everything, life, yet it can't answer an answer so basic as why there is evil. When the victim of child abuse asks why his dad who profess to love him also hurt him, the answer can be complex, but there is an answer. [/quote]
