Quote:I'm only a little human living in a tiny part of the universe for a tiny amount of time, in the face of all eternity. All I can see is the here and now, this tiny portion, not even close to the big picture. I'm not going to presume to know better than a being who can see everything. It makes sense logically, but I understand how hard it is to accept, emotionally. Especially when going through very difficult times.Nope if god can't give a good reason here and now it's a safe bet there is not one . We would never accept that kind of logic from some else so why should anyone do so for a god . It's terrible reason .

But you do presume that such a being has a good reason for allowing awful things to happen to innocent children and animals.
