Got to agree with you. God doesn't screw up. He NEVER has. He is incapable of "screwing up" because He is perfect.

Anyone who believes in GOD knows that.

Also, if we acknowledge there is GOOD, we must also believe, just as strongly, that there is EVIL.

Man (mankind) was given free will. It is how we live our lives that determines our "eternal" outcome.

God didn't screw up on 9/11, evil did, evil men did. "EVIL" happened that day. Those who committed that EVIL crime against humanity and I might add to God that day, have met their eternal fate. I bet knowing what they know now, they would change their decision. They are finding out first hand how long eternity is...

This life is but the "blink of an eye" compared to eternity. Knowing that, and having a "free will".. we are all to strive to do things which are pleasing to God. Even knowing that, some people choose the dark side. It really is as simple as that.

I'm not saying those that are questioning "why God would let this happen" are bad people or non-believers, NOT AT ALL. I just think if they search the Bible a little more, they will find the answers. Do some research on Christian sites asking the question "Why do bad things happen to good people". There are tons of scripture out there to help all people through times that are hard to understand.

Even when there doesn't seem to be answers, when we just can't find the answer to our questions,.. there is scripture that will comfort peoples hearts. But I honestly believe that if a person keeps reading, they will find scripture or verse that will answer their questions. Many answers are in how Jesus responded to things. Like when Lazarus died. Jesus CRIED out. He mourned him. (Which to us is proof that you are not an unbeliever if you mourn the loss of a loved one,..after all Jesus did!! Then Jesus raised him from the dead. Which was proof that our loved ones will live again).

Hard times.. for sure. Confusing times too. But we must always keep our eye on the TRUTH.

God is great.
