How can a god, that apparently loves everyone, allow this kind of thing to happen?

[Zen Badger]

Why is it so hard for Christians to answer this question?

It's quite simple....

The answer is quite simple, too...because God doesn't tell us everything.

Why won't god help find missing children?

Instead you go off on all sorts of tangents.

It's quite applicable to expose a straw man.

If I knew a Christian who claimed that God gave precise answers to all his questions, I'd also ask his to ask God about missing children. But I don't know any Christians making that claim.

I fail to see how it is a strawman, all sorts of christians claim to be in direct contact with god, the pope, various pastors and priests, even people like Godschild.

And yet your omniscient, omnipresent, compassionate god refuses to help locate missing children.

If you were in a position to help a child in such a position you would.

So why won't your god? Or are you a more moral person than your god?
