The problem of evil/suffering when it comes to children

[Godscreated]

If Gaud really wanted this child to live in heaven forever, knowing that the father was going to behave this way toward it, he could have just caused the child to be stillborn or something. If his plan consciously involved the suffering in this kid's life, then he's a monster not worthy of worship. Pure and simple.

I'll ask you too, why is it you believe God should clean up the mess that man has made for himself, actually He has through Christ but that's for another day. I said in my first post I have no idea why God allowed this terrible event to happen, I'm not omniscient. Could it be that God allowed this to move you into action against such horrible events, did you respond, what have you done. The way I see it atheist should stop blaming God for what man has become through the evolution they believe in and don't give me not all atheist believe in evolution, the only other option is God and you title (atheist) removes you from this belief.

And yes, evolution has produced various species that later ate or bred themselves out of existence. Spotted owls spring to mind, but they're not the only example. Coyotes and wolves have started interbreeding in some places, which could eventually lead to the disappearance of one or both species in those areas in favor of a newer, more competitive one. Change is the only constant.

Hey silly, man is destroying the spotted owls habitat, man's fault. Coyotes and wolves have interbreed for thousands of years and yet the two remain, bad example. Only when a coyote finds a lone female wolf will it breed with her and that's rare. Wolves will eat coyotes and any other smaller canine which pretty much covers them all, even my Rotties wouldn't be able to handle a pack of wolves. The wolves and or time will eliminate the cross breeding ut like has happened in the past.

Regardless of how you see it, that child is gone forever, and all he ever knew was pain. The fact that you can simply console yourself with a thought like "Oh, he's in heaven now," is completely revolting and all too common.

Just because you do not believe doesn't mean a thing to the child's eternal life, just your's. Yes it comforts me greatly to know this child no longer suffers at the hand of evil and is with God forever. I would say the reason you find what I believe as revolting is because you know at this point in your life you do not have it.
