Question for freethinkers

[Anymouse]

But why did He stand and watch the Aberfan disaster? If you had the power, what would you have done?

I dunno, I'm not a Christian, nor have I ever been. Must be that part about "creating evil" in Isaiah. Maybe he did it?

Diffidus:
Sorry anymouse, my mistake - I meant this post for pel.

That does bring up a question in my mind, whether directed at me or not. If God is omnipotent (as held out by Christianity and Islam), and God creates evil (as held in Isaiah), perhaps the Aberfan disaster was caused by God? That, though God could have chosen to allow/push a slag heap onto a school before dawn, he chose to do it during the school day. It does say in Isaiah that he creates evil. Not the folk that pile up slag heaps, but God himself.
