....god do all day?

If god doesn't prevent bridge collapses, or tornado damage, or hurricane
damage, or marathon bombings, or movie theater shootings,,or school
shootings, or wars, car crashes, muggings, ships sinking, plane crashes
or cancer, what exactly does god do?

Just wondering.

Often wondered the same thing. Some call it a "test of faith". I
don't think I can buy that, especially when innocent little children
are so often the victims.

It's a serious question. I think about it from time to time, especially
after a school shooting or, last week, after what we call "an act of
god," the tornado in Oklahoma.

It's a serious question but I guess the answer is very personal.

I think he/she is still bound by physics... just knows a lot more than
we do and can work around a lot of it. I don't believe God can snap the
fingers and make magic happen.

No? How about creating the entire universe, something many believe.
That's magic to me.

I suppose I could embrace the concept of "karma" if I gave it enough
thought. Good promotes good and bad promotes bad. But they are
judged by what our human interpretations of good and bad are.

I can accept that, and I won't even mock you for it

He provides comfort and hope and direction. O'bama tried it and failed.
He's not the Messiah he purported himself to be. Oh well, two terms and
yur out. Thank god ;-)
