And I couldn't disagree more, but as long as we're second guessing God's actions (or inaction) I have some thoughts. If he cared to correct us he'd post here himself, but he's probably tired of repeating himself for the ten billionth time when his word is already there for anybody to read. I would argue that he gave us advice (in the form of commandments that we, none the less, have the
choice to obey) in his compassion for us, and he doesn't interfere because we have to learn for ourselves. Some might ask him to save us all from war, poverty, etc., but he's already told us how to do those things for ourselves. Those who wonder why he allows tragedies to happen are really only taking their free will for granted, something which I consider a gift that carries a lot of responsibility.
Okay I'm ending my religious rant. Now lets get back to politics as usual.
