I agree that it is difficult to be unbiased, but that goes both ways. I don’t think someone who has chosen atheism is any less biased than someone who has chosen Christianity. Of course, the the author never said that wasn’t true and he may agree with me. However, being biased doesn’t mean one can’t examine the evidence. It also doen’t mean the evidence does or does not exist and …
Hey all,
I do not feel that it is my duty or even in my best self interest to post or talk about opposing religious views but I was pointed to this page by a friend.

This is seriously one of the most difficult questions in all of Christianity. We have narrowed it here to natural disasters because a discussion of suffering caused by humanity is related, but possibly very different. So take a look at the suffering children. Try to internalize their pain. Then lets discuss this.
