I've given you all the official orthodox Christian position of the problem of evil and human suffering. There is the "alternative" view of Christs salvation and Gods creation if you find anything insightful here.

But you ain't seen this. *taps nose*
Quote:Why would a god that loves everyone and understands what it is like to suffer, do nothing.
He's done his part but we still have to do our part if it's his salvation/grace we want to receive. He can't force permanent physical changes in the creation or rob people of the freewill he gave them in the first place.
Quote: Lets be specific here. I want you to answer this question very specifically ok? Why does he allow butterfly children to exist?
You can't just completely rewrite someones genetic structure, you would kill them if you could and tried. Yes there are healing miracles through God but no-one is going to a cure someones genetic defects they had from birth, and no amputees either I guess though Jesus did reattach a severed ear. I hope this answers the question.
Quote:Why is that a thing? Why is there a genetic disease where your skin sloughs off of your bones?
Do you understand what a genetic mutation is and why it happens? You have biological organisms, you have a genetic code, you have things that can potentially go wrong with that code. That's how it is you can't do anything about and no it isn't pleasant. It will be far more unpleasant for everyone concerned if God or the higher power or immortality doesn't exist as you like to claim. Don't make me post this here shite.
Quote:How can a god that loves everyone, allow this kind of suffering?
Because living beings suffer and die that's part of life, there are good aspects of life and humanity as well. Jesus suffered and was put to death as well we're all in this together and God is right here with us. What do you have against this?
Quote:And you know exactly what your sweeping statement was, answer the question, no more dodging and dancing.
You'll have quote specifically what I said.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
