Hello Cosmic, The problem is not with God. The problem is with religion. Humanity by nature is selfish and egotistical. Evil came by way of man, not God. I can look a person straight in the eye who says they are a Christian and I cannot tell you whether he or she is indeed a saved born again follower of Christ. They may even think they truely are Christians and will admit that they have done a lot for God, etc, etc.(Works will get you into Heaven thinking.) Others will say they are going to Heaven because they have been good people. That does not matter! God came to save the sinner, not the righteous. Now I said that to say this. Christians still sin. But they do not continue in a sin because God will chastise the Christian and bring him out of that sin. religiosity and denominational traditions of men are wrong. I am saddened by the plight of the poor and uneducated and I believe that these issues are at least being addressed more today than in the past. Everyone should have the opportunity to be free from hunger, homelessness and ignorance. Santiago
