Two things....
No. 1 - those hypothetical parents do not have supernatural powers that run out with one or two people. According to you, your god is everywhere and omnipotent - Therefore comparing a set of parents with money problems to your omnipotent god is just a poor comparison.
No. 2 - You still won't answer the question. Not a huge surprise, most christians wont because they cannot.
Here it is yet again: (a simple yes or no... give it a try)
Since you believe your god knows all and controls all things - Do you believe that your god is willfully allowing those people a lifetime of suffering for some unknowable plan of his making?
First thing to get out of the way I said the parents have all the means to give their children what they wanted. Second thing the (good parent, bad parent) part was sarcasim. Third thing I did answer your question, just not in the way you believe I should have and since it is my answer I get to do it my way. Let me make this simple for you, God wants to be loved by us not used for our own petty little things we feel are important. Yes I know these people are suffering and if I were in their shoes I would want relief too. However if it did not come I would trust God for my future and the reason I would trust Him is because He is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and loving beyond your ability to understand.
Now to give you an answer in the form you want it NO! Is that plain enough for you. They are suffering because of sin and not their own but because sin exist period. You would call it evolution and because you do not believe in God then you must blame evolution for their fate. So where is their hope at, in people, people seem to give them a wide birth (lots of love there), so where is their hope, does it lie with all those people that make jokes about them and tease them and say cruel things about them, where is their hope, does it lie with you. What are you doing to help these people you so lovingly refer to as poor bastards.
What am I doing? I am doing the exact same thing your god is doing ... absolutely nothing.
your god loves you, he watches over you and he's everywhere - therefore he spends everyday of your life standing right next to you correct? But for these poor bastards, he stands next to them every day watching them writhe in agony. They can pray to him all day long and he does nothing. That's some cold-hearted shit right there. Allowing them to suffer because of some unknowable plan he's got going.
Don't forget the added bonus that they're in that predicament because mankind sinned. Basically, your god made us capable of sinning ... he knew we would sin and now hes torturing people at random for that sin.
Are you people out of your FUCKING minds?!? Am I the only one who thinks this is fucking INSANE!
the god you love so much is watching you SUFFER for something he KNEW you would do before he created you. What a dick! You can keep your god and your insanity!
Nutjobs!
