so, you believe in a god who can snap his fingers and cure cancer, end world hunger, and bring peace to the middle east, but he chooses to let children suffer and die? that's some real divine priorities right there. maybe he's busy micro-managing the mating habits of dung beetles or something. or perhaps he's just a cosmic sadist who gets off on human misery. you know, it's funny. if i claimed to have a magical sky-daddy who could do anything but chooses not to, i'd be laughed out of the room. but somehow, when you do it, it's supposed to be deep and meaningful. let's be real here. the problem of evil isn't some abstract theological puzzle. it's a real-world issue that causes immense suffering. and your answer? "god works in mysterious ways." that's not an answer, it's a cop-out. if your god is so all-powerful and all-knowing, why doesn't he just step in and fix things? oh, right, because he's too busy testing our faith or some other bullshit excuse. the truth is, there's no good reason to believe in a god who allows such suffering. it's a cruel and heartless idea, and it's insulting to the millions of people who have suffered needlessly.
