The problem of suffering

[el_bryanto]

When we see a tragedy like we did earlier this week in San Bernidino how do we rationalize it with our idea of God? It is a tricky question; I usually come down on the free will side of the argument; that whatever pain it causes the opportunity to make our own choices is worth the fact that some people will choose to infringe on the choices of others, in both minor and major (and horrific) ways.

Without freedom what meaning would life have?

The types of tragedies I find more difficult are naturals disasters where things just go the wrong direction and end up causing a lot of death or destruction. That's pretty tough for me to deal with.

What do you believe or what does your faith teach?
