God gets a pass

Journal by Gaaark

I'm staring down at a child in India who is starving to death.
I could feed him, but do not.

God is staring down at a child in India who is starving to death.

God gets a pass with "God works in mysterious ways".

Why are we enabling God to be a monster?
I've heard ridiculous things like "It's God's way of teaching us in the west a lesson, or to be better people.

If there IS a God, why isn't he better than he is? He IS all-powerful, isn't he?
