If God exists, why does He let so many bad things happen? — Look around. What do you see? Blue skies? Green grass? Kittens playing? Children laughing? Or do you see, hear and feel the hatred, violence, intolerance, cruelty, and greed that happens every day, everywhere, every way? War. Poverty. Grief. Subjugation. Shootings. Defamation. Genocide. Abuses of every horrifying kind. Neglect. Bullying. Shaming.
