"The ol' "God is bad for killing 'innocent' babies" tangent."
Tangent!?
You don't think that any God who would kill innocent babies, commit genocide, etc is bad?
Do Hindus think cow eaters are 'bad'?
Someone has an idea of what their 'perfect' god would be like, and I'm being asked to sign off on it.
It would be near impossible to explain to you why these things happen. We try to mold God into our expectations and judgment. You forget, you don't own one thing in this world, including your children. Neither do I.
I thought when I create my own world or universe I might control it also. We came into someone elses house as their invite, to make it a short clue.....
