Those are the kind of questions I wish I knew, sometimes life doesn't make sense and doesn't seem fair, that's why I trust God, through my life experiences I have experienced God many times. I'm not the type of person who takes what everyone tells me about God at face value, I will search out what doesn't seem to make sense and even question God about certain things in His word. Don't misunderstand I trust God completely and there are those who I trust greatly and seldom doubt what they say. I'm the same with Christians in my church and those who are around me as I am here, if they say something I know to be wrong I will set them straight. No one hates to see God misrepresented worse than I do, no matter who it is.
They are not His mouth piece and I want go into what I believe about them, that's for another day.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
