[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4216641, member: 27098"] Simple question: "Why does God allow evil to occur?" Simple answer: "Because we allow evil to occur." Faith gives one strength and can move mountains. God gives us free will and a choice. Bad things can and do occur quite often. How often does one get the chance to stop evil from occurring? Faith gives us the coping skills to deal with tragedy and atrocity. Faith without action though is a choice. Merely leaving it up to God doesn't make sense to me at all. God does want us to make proper choices and has given us though Christianity plenty of paths to follow. My point, do more than just pray, be prepared to act, and do the right thing when the opportunity presents itself. I am not suggesting you perform your own "Minority Report" or be militant. I am just saying that your live touches many, and being an example of a life well led is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
