If you don't believe in god then there's no dilemma, if you do believe in God there's no dilemma if you do believe God works in mysterious ways, or that suffering brings you closer to God or that you simply don't understand the way God works. If there was a definition of God that says he's a being who lets no living thing physically die or suffer then there would be a dilemma. As far as I can tell there's no claim in the bible, Quran or Torah that God is like that.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
