Along with all the wonderful, good things that happen also, yes.

I don't believe God is a monster, I just believe He is God, and we are humans, and obviously, this is the way it is.

I believe right and wrong are human traits, confined to us here on earth, and that God is above them. Yes, I do know right from wrong, as I have a God-instilled conscience.

I never said anything about the God of the bible.

I do not know what God wants, as opposed to what He allows. As far as I know, since God is the creator of all things, then everything is as He allows and wants. Who am I to distinguish what God wants or allows?

***I don't believe God is a monster, I just believe He is God, and we are humans, and obviously, this is the way it is. ***

But your OIPINIONS about God have led you to form an idea of Him that is monsterous.


***I believe right and wrong are human traits, confined to us here on earth, and that God is above them.***

How do you determine if something is wrong?



***I never said anything about the God of the bible***

Well, that's what the thread is about.



***Who am I to distinguish what God wants or allows?***

You can't fully distinguish - unless He tells you. That is what He has done in the Bible. But for some reason you don't seem to want to recognize it's claim over you.
