If there is a God and he created this magnificent world inside our galaxy, inside the universe etc... then yes I'd let it take it's course. I'm just not sure yet if the bible is where you find him. If we have free will then it's up to us to find him in us, I think. The battles of good and evil are in us. And if I know the beginning and the end then why give free will? Is it a lesson to be learned kind of deal. Is dying nothing compared to the lesson you learn along the way. If so then why is a baby born with cancer and dies before they have a chance to learn a lesson? I'm still confused about the whole God issue and it's hard to see past a child getting raped and killed or a nuclear bomb landing in a city and destroying innocent people.

If I were creator would I put the people I love on the same planet that Satan is on? But then again I love my children and will spank them and be tough on them because they need to learn a lesson. But I couldn't kill them or let someone else kill them. I don't believe in giving money to God when I can give it to a family that needs it more than that preacher. I'd rather give a homeless person my money then to tithe it away in a hypocritical church. But I'm not God and I'm here for the ride. I can only hope that I do a good job of raising my children and to do good for others because if there's one thing I have learned in life it's that family is important and we all need each other. If God won't intervene then it's up to us to do it and change the plans. Like I said I'm still confused and searching my soul if I have one for an answer. But I don't let me being confused stop the good things I need to do in life.

Good stuff. Alot of the things you talk about God would have seen at the creation. He would have known. But He also knows the significance of these things to us. Would we cling more tightly to God because of them or would we lose faith and think He doesn't care. Will He show us the reason? This has happened to me. I thought of God in these terms of all loving and caring and believed He had a plan. The Bible even says that He works all things to good for them that love him. That's not the actual verse but that is what it says. I prayed to know why I had suffered a tragedy and God revealed to me how many people had found Him through it. My imagination? Who knows. Is this the reason for tragedies? Don't think so.
