Answer the question if you can. My bet is you won't even try.

If you want to discuss Voltaire, Leibniz and the philosophy of optimism then start a thread.

You have issued an invitation to hurt your feelings and challenge your faith, and you offer me no incentive to do so.

It is an article of faith to say that everything that happens is God’s will. In my faith that is heresy, besides being logically untenable.

I think it’d be a complete waste of my time on either grounds to argue this, and it’s been done by the likes of Voltaire, whose works were both edifying and entertaining. If you’ll start there, perhaps one day we’ll have a discussion.

Until then, I’ll have a pastrami on rye.
