Jumping onto a cloud of faith.

Here's something about God I found logically acceptable for me. Totally not one of those lame arguments that preacher told me when I was at the library.
Here goes a short excerpt from Dan Brown's Angels and Demons.

Security Officer in the Vatican City asked, "Terrible things happen int the world. Human tragedy seems like proof that God could not possibly be both all-powerful and well-meaning. If He loves us and has the power to change our situation, He would prevent our pain, wouldn't He?"
Then the priest asked him to imagine if he had kids and would he have let them go skateboarding. Officer says yes and would remind kids to be careful.
"What if they fell and skinned his knee?"
Officer replies, "He would learn to be more careful."
"So although you have the power to interfere and prevent your child's pain, you would choose to show your love by letting him learn his own lessons ?"
"Of course. Pain is part of growing up. It's how we learn."
Priest said, "Exactly"

Basically through this example I got a better idea of what Lynn tried to explain to me when i asked the same question- If God was all so powerful, then why can't he help all the famines and sufferings? Now the Bible seems more relevant to me now. It guides people out of the way of the sufferings but yet people drift away from it and make mistakes and they just come back and blame God. Duh, I still don't read the Bible lolx. I don't have the composure for that ancient tome.
