Among those arguments is the problem of evil.
It seems it's pretty much acknowledged God can protect us from evils, but doesn't. She can eliminate unnecessary suffering but doesn't.
She can have created a world without all these wars, disease, famines, poverty, but didn't?
The question is further complicated by the fact, if we personally can reduce suffering in the world, we ought to do so. That being the case, why isn't God required to do so?
If we should strive in science to eliminate all disease or find cures for illnesses, why doesn't God reduce all diseases and illness to practically nothing or eliminate it all together?
It's further complicated when many of those who die, are children. Children who will not have the ability to build their character and be tested with regards to the evils. What will be their fate? If it's heaven and their life was worthwhile, why couldn't heaven be the starting and end place of all humanity?
These are important and pressing questions.
