I just don’t get it. A real, compassionate god would never allow young children and infants to be sexually abused, period. An infant can’t protect themself but if there was a real god he certainly could protect the kids.
Why would god toss an infant under the bus? And potentially ruin their life for decades to follow?
To me the problem is that most Christians have a belief that God controls every aspect of life on earth. I've studied Christianity for decades and I have never seen that from scripture, just from Christian belief. The Text seems to suggest a God who created the earth, gave advice and perhaps help when asked, but left the running of it to humans.
From scripture it seems as if humans have a lease on the earth rather than total ownership. When the lease runs out God takes it back and deals with the wrongs committed.
