Question for the Christians posting.

I mean no disrespect as I was raised Catholic myself but I've started questioning a lot. I have a question that no one's ever been able to answer. If everything that happens is God's will, then why do innocent children die of cancer every day, why are they born with horrific birth defects, why would God want a child to suffer in this way? From a mom who's lived it first hand.

Theodicy, both the positive and negative, is wishful thinking. When a person can get past the God myth then that is the beginning of true morality

@CookieLuvsBunny No more than atheism is wishful thinking. There is certainly more evidence for divinity than against it. We don't have to enjoy our food to survive. We don't have appreciate beauty to see. We don't have to feel pleasure to be sensitive. We don't have to love music to hear. Just consider the evidence that demands a verdict. Just for a minute.

@puck61 Your so called "evidence" would be thrown out of every court!
Except maybe Alabama, Georgia etc

What evidence is there that demands a verdict? If you claim there is evidence of a "GOD" then why don't you produce it? Which "God" is there evidence for?

@CookieLuvsBunny The air you breathe. The food you taste. The sights you see. You are standing in the midst of overwhelming evidence. Each night speaks and each day reveals the Divine, and every breath you take is a precious gift.
