who needs a god who

Who needs a god who blows up your child?
who doesn't prevent cancer?
who refuses to intervene when rape ravages, abuse deafens, war destroys?

Who needs a god who watches hurricanes plunder and tornadoes sweep the landscape clear?
who needs a god seemingly all powerful who rejects using that power to save?

If a god is any kind of god at all, he would prevent pain, remove injustice, stamp out abuse, destroy war.....right?

Let's see, I say he needs to prevent natural disasters, destroy evil murderers, remove dictators from power, punish rapist-abusive-destroyers.

Look closer. Who is the rapist? Why do they rape? Who is the warrior? Why does she fight? Why is the atmosphere on our planet so volatile that it produces storms that wreak havoc? What went wrong? It should be changed.

To what? Who decides what? Shall I step into the role of God? Shall I decide? determine? exact justice? Or maybe, I should assemble a panel of hand-picked experts. Then, we can chart the course for humanity.

It's true, if you believe that the only reason God exists to to spread horror. But look deeper. Go beyond your finite-limited-imperfect thinking. Seek ultimate truth. You'll discover that God is more than an enabler or a preventer of an event. It's so much bigger than that. So much more beyond. It will blow your mind, stretch your reality, it will be so much more than about you and what you determine is right or wrong.
