Man, with his ability to reason, is understandably resentful and distrustful of any deity who sends horrible suffering and inexplicable events upon him. Yes, we give our children innoculations, but we also explain to them, perhaps imperfectly, but with touch and soft words, we hold their hands, we love them, buy them a cookie, we are there.

THere are no such concrete reassurances when you attempt to draw a parallel with God. Unless you want to admit to the capricious nature of a god who can either heal you or stuff pepper of your nose and kill you as a parent of mine once did to her child. She was disciplining him. Why exactly should I believe that this deity is any more reliable?
