This guy had it worse. He prayed, too.

In the end, God came through. He is faithful. He is good. His mercy endures forever.

[Psalm 73]

If we can ask: "Why do bad things happen in this world?", why not: "Why does anything good EVER happen in this world?"

They never bother to ask that, though.

Pontificate and blow all the smoke you want.
The fact remains, 50 million men, women and children died during WWII, essentially because one man came to power.
I guess no one thought of praying to stop him.

[Hoodat]

Maybe you should write God a letter explaining how much better things would be if you were in charge instead of Him. Eh, Absalom?

That’s why “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was so effective.

Why? Won’t change reality.

[huldah1776]

Ah, but how you look upon reality is the key. Do you see it for the moment, or as a lifetime, or as eternal? How long is the time line and what is the goal of time. I think most of us know that death is wrong, it just shouldn’t be, and illness is wrong in the same way. Kind of the opposite of the inalienable rights found in the Declaration. Things that should be and things that shouldn’t be.

By the way, I’m glad you came home.

By the way, I’m glad you came home.
Thank you. I was proud to wear the USMC uniform, and it was an honor to serve America.
