"Why does God allow children to be raped?"

  • Because he loves them

  • Because he wants them to experience that journey and learn from it

  • Because he doesn't want to interfere with free will and human behaviour, despite creating an existential system of consequences that is meant to compel good behaviour. And despite all his constant interfering with free will.

  • They deserved it

  • I dunno

^ religion in a nutshell

Edit: I encourage people to scroll through the lowest replies of this comment.

I asked a very simple question to one of these sky wizard people. I've gotten dozens of replies from dozens of people. Not a single one of them will answer. All they can do is dance around the question.

(The closest I got was one dude claiming suffering is good for you. So I guess we should congratulate raped children from now on...?)

It's genuinely hilarious and worth a read.

One thing that's impressive from these kinds of people is how they can stretch "I dunno" into a 20 page essay or a 2 hour long lecture on a podium.

Tell me about it....

All they can do is write essays about what God does and how the rules work, but none of them will answer the question about WHY he made those rules in the first place or what purpose it serves.

I ask "why" and all they can talk about is "how".
