I think that is one of the hardest thing to get your head around.
There are many terrible, painful and sad things in life, and reasonable people ask, if there is a God...why?
Why does a 18 year man old die in a war before he has a chance to be intimate with a wife? Why does a 6 year old girl have a terrible, painful, wasting cancer? Why does a man who loves his wife with all his heart, have her taken away by Alzheimer’s years before she dies physically?
They are good and valid questions.
I’m not really trying to figure out God, I’m trying to figure out why people believe as they do. Thanks
