I'm really sorry to hear about your friend, Rian.

Where do you think God should draw the line at stopping people's actions, and why?

All I ask from God is to be consistant. If, in the times of the Bible, he kept helping and saving the people of Israel, answering the prays, why didn't He in the holocaust, the worst mass murder that has ever happened in the world, at least for what we know..?

I wouldn't mind Him stopping all murders.. and why not on the other hand? There is a difference between a murder and other cruelties, say robbery or just being mean. But it's his decision, I just wonder - why didn't he help when he was truly needed?

It's saying, "If I don't know the answer, there is no answer." That sounds like me when I was younger, struggling with math . That hardly seems to be a voice of reality. It is opinion alone, with no reason or evidence behind it.

It's not only me who has no answer, no human being does. In order for me to believe in God I need a better answer than 'God has his reasons to do so and so', when it makes no sense. How can one explain mass murder and a good god?
