Mariano has delivered another great post that I totally agree with. In the comments section, a person who is either agnostic or atheistic has asked a pretty good question. It is basically the "problem of evil". I'd summarize his point this way: If your god is personal than why is he not accountable or responsible for human suffering in the same way we hold Hitler and Stalin accountable for the atrocities they committed? It's a good question. Ultimately I'd answer that Hitler and Stalin were but men. They took upon themselves the authority to determine who lives and who dies that they had no right to claim or exercise. God on the other hand has the right and authority to do whatever He wants, when He wants, how He wants, and where He wants. Scripture tells us that what ever He does is just even when we don't see the big picture or how it is for the best. We can only see bits and pieces, God has the masterpiece in mind that He is creating. "Who are you to answer back to God?" - Romans 9
