Try to walk in their shoes for a moment. If it helps them to deal with their loss, so what?

Quote:Bunarto says, "Some things that happen in our lives, sometimes we just don't understand what God really intends."
Someone needs to learn how to A/S/K!!!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

If you set the bar low enough, you can prove God exists even when he doesn't.

I would think if God had a plan, he could achieve whatever weird stuff he has in mind without inflicting massive suffering in the process.

Unfortunately believers don't see it that way, it is how the douchebag shows his love, by testing them and their faith.

How Can I Trust a God Who Let's Bad Things Happen? How can I lean on someone I can't find?

When I said that they will never learn, I was referring to that pastor in the news item. Try to read between the lines, smarty pants!
