Anyway, the deist position that God doesn't care is based on their own idea of what God should be and not what he is. It's like "If he lets us suffer, then he doesn't care or he doesn't exist."
Lek, have you actually read the bible?
Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Isn't hell, followed by annihilation, everlasting? For eternity one doesn't get to experience everlasting life with God.

I don't hand justice. God does that. I try to treat others the way Jesus instructed me to.

This is not skirting the problem. This is telling it like it is.
