So now you have said that there is unremitting evil in this world with no hope for mankind. Pretty bleak isn't it.

And how should I feel otherwise? Look around you...how many innocents are tortured like this child was? How many children are starving and deprived of the most basic necessities for life? Christ said in John 10:10 that, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly."

The English translation for this passage is very weak, for in the Greek the phrase "they might have it" translates as a "possession" or "to hold fast"...hardly a "maybe" or a turn of fate, but an absolute certainty.

Yet the Faithful are being tortured and murdered globally by Muslim extremists, small children are abused and either murdered or maimed for life to satisfy pedophiliacs, and still other children grow up in dysfunctional homes where their emotions are permanently damaged.

It seems to me that if there is a God, He is closely following the Prime Directive...which runs counter to all we are taught in the Bible.
