Precisely. Which is why I have no problem with a "good" God allowing so much suffering in the world. He doesn't define "good" as "pain free" or "posh." We do that.
Francis Chan likes to take a long, long rope and paint the last 2 inches red and say, "If this rope is the span of your eternity, this red part is your life on earth. Why are you focused on the red part instead of the rest?"
Drawing a long horizontal line on an 8’+ wide blackboard, and marking a little dot in the center of it would be more accurate. To the left is life before you came here, the dot is your entire life, and to the right is your Eternity.
This is, of course, for those who believe there was “something” before we arrived on Earth and will be “something” after. For everyone else, our existence and Eternity are about the extent of conscious thought. There are those, however, who want to know where we came from, and why, and what, and ... and ... and....
And then there are those who feel there was nothing before us and there will be nothing after us. And my question to those folks is: Then, why are we here?
