The fact that the vast majority of them get run over and die doesn't seem to bother Him at all.

My Dear Brother....Would you make this same statement if you inserted the Name of "Jesus" instead of the word "Him".

Thus it would read... The fact that the vast majority of them get run over and die doesn't seem to bother "Jesus" at all.

Please think deeply on this Dear Friend.

I'm afraid the answer is "yes". With all due respect, this is my assessment of Jesus' priorities under the Roman Catholic faith. Jesus either has the power to save unilaterally, or He does not. If He does have that power, but chooses not to use it in favor of allowing man to choose whether to save himself by cooperating, then my supposition is accurate. That is, that it is more important to Jesus to let His beloved children die than for Him to do what any loving human parent would do, save the child's life in spite of the child's "suicidal" wishes.

If He does not have that power, then He is not omnipotent.
