Muslims make the same excuse for Allah's ways, too.
Excuse?
It was an explanation. You wanted to know why the David/Bath baby died and why the Amalekites were slain.
I said because God decided it was best.
How is that an excuse? An excuse would be, “He was driving down the road, didn’t see them, and damned if He didn’t run right over top of them.”
An excuse is an effort to shift the direction of responsibility.
