How can any parent who watches their seven-year-old child die and not question God and his intent? But the harsh truth is that life IS suffering. And the WTC was the death of a child times 5,000.

But if God is not in control of evil, then there is something more powerful than God, and that is not true. We simply do not know the heart of God. But through the Bible, we know what he expects of us, and what awaits those who love and obey Him.

I realize it seems presumptuous to label as simplistic your question "how can a loving God allow bad things to happen." But you could read the Bible more. There you'll find that suffering is the natural state of mankind. And those moments of bliss and joy and love are gifts from God and a glimpse of our future alongside Him.

I think the only way a parent could say good-bye to their child, and still be able to live another day, is to believe they will be together again in Paradise.

I keep asking... How can people suggest that God smashed innocent children into the side of a building to "teach us a lesson"...??

And you keep answering a totally different question.

To be honest, it's getting old.

If you feel compelled to change the nature of the conversation so as to better frame your response, that's fine. But be advised, that you're not conversing with me when you do that. You're conversing with yourself.
