Why God Allows Pain

[Penn]

I had faith all along that the skins would lose. :shrug:

And I have faith that the cowboys are gonna stomp the E-girls here shortly.

Would this be the first time football was discussed in a religious forum?

Well...

From what's been said earlier, no, this would be God's work, part of his plan for thiese children and their families.

...there is that...

God gave me...

...annonymous red today.

I just know it was Him.

...annonymous red today.

I just know it was Him.

I disagree - not when your heart is in the right place.

...annonymous red today.

I just know it was Him.

I get that from God all the time, though I think it's a she with multiple MPDS.

Are you suggesting Satan made those girls do something to deserve being shot in their thinking caps?

Very Sad Crab....

In that vein, the concept that these children reaped what they sowed is a damn good reason for faith because only through faith, believing, does the unbelievable make any sense at all.

We like to believe that we have more control over our lives and more control over the world than we actually do, especially when it comes to the unbelievable. It's natural to want to look for reasons to explain it, to believe that horrific events such as this could have been prevented somehow. We are far more scared of the alternative, which is that many times, nothing could have been done.
