Why I'm Still a Christian

[The Reality Salesman01]

Oh Lek, if I point out flaws in the world that pertain to our conversation about a God while on an AtheistForum, it would be very uncouth of you to imply that my ability to observe those things is a sign of my overall general outlook. I do love life, and I do live a fulfilling one. But that doesn't mean that I am unable to point out the flaws in this world if pressed to do so by a person who believes its reasonable to conclude that it was divinely created. Your response to my criticism did not address my point. Instead, you redirected my criticism in an attempt to make me appear as a negative nancy. I think you know perfectly well that my criticism was not a description of my everyday outlook, it was directly in response to your previous question and it was perfectly suited. Would you like to apologize and go for a re-do?

My answer to your question was "yes" as shown in bold print above. God doesn't have to make everything here perfectly comfortable to show his love for us. He can make a difficult world, bring us through our lives here and then give us eternity with him. If God meant the world to be this way to teach us to rely on him, it is not flawed, rather it's the way God meant it to be.

No apology? Very well, I'll forgive you anyway. So the way you reconcile the countless suffering of billions of physical creatures is the belief that the non-physical creator of both the creatures and the suffering "accompanies" us through it? This seems to square it all up for you?
