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?
I think most of us…believers and non-believers alike…struggle with the realities of pain and suffering in the world. But pain and suffering in the world doesn’t disprove the existence of God. It only disproves the existence of a God that doesn’t allow pain and suffering in the world. The Christian God promised that there would be pain and suffering in the world.
When sin entered the world, it held the door open for pain and suffering.
