Why is God blamed for all the CRAP in the world, but never
thanked for any of the GOOD in the world? How do we know
what the end of this will be in this world?

Or the affect it will have on others. I always loved Dale Evan's book, Angel Unaware, which was about Robin Elizabeth who was born with Down's Syndrome. Who knows how many people her short book influenced? How many people will be touched by this little girl's story?

Because people are too busy taking credit for all the good. They only deem the existence of God to be of importance when they need to shift the blame onto someone.

How do we know what the end of this will be in this world?

We don't. And since our capacity in assessing the good that is the outcome of this child's life is limited, we rely on faith that a God that formed this child's soul, that voluntarily lowered Himself to human existence, endured persecution, was crucified and fought the pit of Hell to save our damned souls just might care more about this child than annonymous arrogant keyboard gods that seek to mock the source of these parents' strength.

If someone chooses not to believe in God, so be it. I would state, however, that these people chose not to abort this child. They chose not to destroy this life. They choose to endure hardship on her behalf. They experience every motion of pain. They sacrifice "normal" lives to care for her needs. And they are gifted with her love in return.

They believe in God. They have faith God has her best interests at heart and a plan. They have faith He is by their side. I would consider it the height of arrogance to mock their expression of Faith. I consider these people to be worthy of our respect, not mockery.
