CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I do not know what you are aiming at.
I have never had any problem with my Lord God.
Why don´t you get real and look at what the human race does, atrocities and more atrocities.
And then they turn around and blame it on someone else , Most idiotic of all, they blame the
Creator the giver of life the giver of all things.
Why don´t you protest the use of uraniam ammo, it causes much harm, to humans and the enviroment.

My point is that either God cannot stop suffering on Earth (like he presumably does in Heaven) or chooses not to.
Which do you think it is? Whether or not humans can be monstrous to each other is not the issue. The two are independent of each other.

I'm curious, what's your opinion of the theological?
I noted the answer given skipped over the option of the theological altogether and gave an answer which wasn't in the list of choices offered in the post being responded to.
It's a curiosity to me why the theological option wasn't chosen. As reason for the rest was given I am curious on the reasoning at play here.

If as you say or presume there is no suffering in heaven then the solution is to bring heaven down to earth.
Psalms 104 describes in detail how He sustains His creation,
The Divine Presence is something else, when Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge,
the Divine Presence withdrew to the seventh heaven/level, it was gradually brought down again,
to manifest at Sinai.
So too today, as a dove, the Divine Presence does not hang around where it is not wanted. (own conclusion)
One, I think Dov Ber, not sure if it is his name, it was a long since I read his works, he claimed,
"Pain is real, suffering is optional."

All the more reason to bring it down into this world.
No one need cross oceans or go up to the heavens to fetch it.
It is very close, in your mouth, so that you can do it.

I asked you.
Riley asked: "Are you asking from a theological or scientific perspective?"
You replied philosophical
You gave the reason you didn't want the scientific response (boring, unemotional) but not why you didn't want the theological perspective.
I was curious why you answered essentially no on the theological perspective.
(I don't do philosophy).

Because we are able to produce enough food to feed people.
Philosophers, theologians, and scientists have pondered this question for centuries, and it remains one of life's greatest mysteries. From a religious perspective, many believe humans were created by a higher power for a purpose, to love, learn, and seek a relationship with the divine.
From a scientific standpoint, humans exist as a result of billions of years of evolutionary processes, adaptations, and chance events.
