[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 5126551, member: 26800"] I understand. I was brought up in a faith tradition and rebelled against it for many years. I believed in God during my rebellion but just wanted very little to do with Him. I did not think very highly of Him. I am not suggesting this applies to you but my personal experience was that a spiritual encounter with God show me that rebellion against Him was only hurting me. and not everybody who has tried to teach me about God, teaches me about God, and will teach me about God know what they are talking about at times. That definitely applies to me, but I believe it applies to others too. Does I believe God desires to see children with cancer, child abuse, children needlessly suffer and being unable to help themselves in America? My answer is no way. I don’t believe God desires any of us to suffer. I can’t explain it, I know we will suffer in this life but I believe God’s is full of love and compassion for us in our suffering. And I believe He offers that to each one of us. [/QUOTE]
