Because the protection of humans by humans is well-nigh impossible. If - as your lot always claim - God loves us as his children, then the duty of protection of the innocent necessarily falls to God.

I don't generally car for the God-as-father analogy, but it seems to apply here. Suppose you have a gaggle of kids of your own: who is responsible for their protection - you, or children their own age?

Boru

What makes you think that everyone here is a child of God? There are several parables that Christ tells that has Him clearly separating those who belong to God and those who do not.

So again why should this responsiablity fall onto God when clearly not all are His Children?

Do you put the interest of other peoples children above your own?
