So why does God give permission to that vile creature for such outrageously hideous things as child abuse--molestation in particular?
Sorry, but it's enough to make you hate God--and I confess I have felt hatred toward Him, in certain emotionally heated moments.
Of course those moments of hatred toward God happend mostly as a result of evils that were perpetrated against yours truly. But one day years ago when I was feeling sorry for myself--enough to get really ticked @ God-- I reminded myself that there are others in the world suffering also, often egregiously. I thought in particular about innocent children being molested by perverts.
I was blown away thinking of such seemingly inexcusable evil (God's "allowance" of it).
man has free will and that's why the world is full of evil and its nasty consequences. I get that.
But God..
I used to hate this saying that comes to mind: "It is what it is." But it's true that whether we understand God or not, He is who He is. Things on Earth are as they are.
There's nothing we can do--
except get involved "politically."
I cite the Lord's Prayer given to us by Jesus:
"Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven."
How will good be done "on Earth as it is in Heaven" unless we humans do it?
