"Multiply Nazi Germany and other vicious evils like this one a million times over, and you have to ask the question, "If God is good, how can Hell NOT exist?"

[Everyone's opinions on this? "If there is a god, he will have to beg for my forgiveness." - a phrase carved into a concentration camp cell wall by a Jewish prisoner.]
(OP): 'It is a sad statement that shows a lack of faith. God blesses us with suffering, so that we can get closer to him'
'I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord'
-Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf"
"You fundies - especially after early-November 2012 (Obama's re-election) and recently after the SCOTUS ruling on DOMA - bang on & on about how 'Evil is Good and Good is Evil'? Well, as per what I say: that I've figured out the 'Mystery' of the Bible, that Lucifer ('Satan') is actually the good guy in all of this (God lying to A&E; 'thou shalt surely Die', yet the snake said they wouldn't). 'Lucifer' means 'Bringer of Light': Illumination, and not just of the visual kind, but intellectual. Knowledge - as in thinking for oneself - is the only 'Sin', from the perspective of fundies...:
Isiah 45:7: 'I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.'
Amos 3:6: 'Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and Yahweh hasn't done it?'

God is actually the Evil One.
Thanks for admitting that, fundies*. Welp, time to pack up, for you lot. It's finally been figured out. No need for 'doctrines', 'morality' or 'philosophy'. We've worked out that we can go it alone, without 'religious guidance' or any of that nonsense.
There is no justice. Just us. You've just proved that, Kyle (OP). Because if you & your 'faith' is the alternative, then no wonder Secularism, nay, Atheism is on the rise.
As I've said before, 'In Soviet China, God worships you'. It's gone way beyond that now. '"If there is a god, he will have to beg for my forgiveness"? That 'Book of Life' now contains just one name. And that 'White Throne of Judgement' is gonna have to be an extremely long one, to seat all the humans that have - or ever will - existed. With a certain Six Million having priority in said judgement, including the one who carved that phrase onto that concentration camp's cell wall."
["If there is a god, he will have to beg for my forgiveness." - a phrase carved into a concentration camp cell wall by a Jewish prisoner."]
Your 'opinion' on the latter, Ray Cumfart?
*- And thanks for admitting that your 'God' is infinitely worse than Hitler. Or even ISIS/ISIL, for that matter.
You & all your ilk are terrorists. You don't have the [i]right[/i] to deny it, neither. The only possible way you & ALL your Christain ilk can do so - deny being anti-Freedom, Democracy & Rule of Law - is to become [i]non[/i]-fundie Christians. So enjoy being Quakers, Aminsh/Mennonites & Unitarian Universalists, Ray & co. [/hyper-paradox]

...or the way the new 12th Doctor - Peter Capaldi - is shaping up, with the episodes I've watched so far, Banana Man wouldn't last minus five seconds (remember: the TARDIS) against the only being in the entire space-time continuum, dimensions & multiverses that the Daleks fear; who they refer to as 'The Oncoming Storm'.
