What makes the best life for millions of infants is a short, hungry, miserable existence which ends in the prolonged misery of either disease or starvation.
Quote:He gave you the free will to reject His will, you are not being forced into anything to do with God.
A flawless analogy for how free will works in Christianity: A rapist holding a knife to his victim's throat gives her free will to either shut up and take it so that she may live (if she tries, she can even enjoy it, maybe she'll understand that this is the best for her) or selfishly reject his mercy and have her throat slashed and then raped anyway. It is not wrong that he does so, because he has the power and therefore only his will matters.
