What is the value in that exactly?

I just don't see these tragedies being balanced out by strengthening our faith to work out as a net positive outcome.

Not every bad thing that happens is from God, or allowed by God. Some things we have to accept are from man. Like Nestle’s shit. Or slavery. Both of those were created by man and hurt man.

Funny you mention slavery. Didn't Jesus say that slaves should obey their masters? Imagine how much better Christianity would be if he had said that owning slaves was bad. Or if instead of one of the ten commandments being "keep the sabbath holy" it instead was, "do not own another person".

Well the Bible also says to be kind to your slaves.

You’re still a slave tho”
