I believe we suffer because there is a supreme being, and he found it proper or funny, or whatever it is that supreme being find things, to make a world where anything can happen. I believe in the God of christianity, and I believe that after the flood, and then Jesus Christ, and the new covenant, He walked away and watches (there is theological precedence for this, I'm not making it up in my head).
We suffer evil, because evil is part of the picture, There will be no more miracles until the end. We all are free to do as we will. I hurt you you hurt me. We are like animals now since Jesus left the earth, except animals attempt to ensure the survival of their own. We are the only animal that allows and sometimes condones the destruction of our young.
All we can do is protect our young, help, do the right thing as we see it, and when he stand before God in judgment, He can say he knows us or he doesn't. I did the best I could. I left this planet and the people on it better than I had to. I could have hurt them. I try everyday not to, but I fail sometimes. I will burn or I will not. but I will not stand for what happens on this earth now and today without my voice and my money and my time being heard.
