[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to believe there’s a god who’s all powerful and yet allows so much horror and violence in the world. [/quote]

That's what finished me.

Horrific child abuse.

A child born with a disability, and then dealing with cancer 4 times before he was even a teenager.  Cruelty.[/quote]

But... free will????    I don't get it, and never will.  It's just some pitiful attempt to explain why there is such immense suffering and  a god that doesn't do anything to alleviate it.  And there isn't an excuse.   No afterlife can compensate for some of the suffering I know people have experienced, and most of them don't deserve it.    Yet the same people that use the "free will" card will also thank their god for being "blessed" by god in finding their soulmate, or having their layover shortened by 4 hours after praying about it.     It's mind boggling, arrogant, self centered, and immoral to me.   (these are real life examples of what a christian acquaintance counts as her blessings).

Parents of said child posted about how wonderful God is when the boy went into remission.   I can't wrap my head around that.  "Child just suffered through ANOTHER round of treatments, but YAY God is wonderful."

There are many children who didn't make it through that round of treatment. I think what they are saying that God is wonderful to them for saving their child's life. [/quote]
