It is a small beginning but small things lead to great things.
I understand completely. Just because god is all powerful and all knowing and all present doesn't mean he should be held responsible for what happens to the people he is supposed to love watch over.
And we should especially not blame god for the things we make him do.
Don't feel relieved yet. We don't blame god himself, but the absence of god. The Church's convoluted explanations for why evil exists just doesn't vibe with reality.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
