How
many times has it been asked, “How could a loving God allow that to happen?!”
War,
genocide, murder, rape, torture, violence, abuse of all kinds!
Cheating,
greed and corruption no matter the cost to others!
Famines,
epidemics, heartbreaking miscarriages, awful birth defects, catastrophic accidents
and natural disasters!
How
could a loving God allow such things?
Is
it possible that our understanding of how God works is, though naturally human,
simply wrong?
Is
it possible that God has given life, function and opportunity to all living
things and, particularly to each human being, stewardship – whether we accept
it or not - of the gift of life, including care of ourselves, of each other,
and of our planetary ecosystem?
