>>You’re asking, why He does not answer to YOU personally ? <<

Dude, calm down. When tragedies happen, it is not unusual for faith to be shaken.

After 9/11 I basically gave up on God and concluded any world with the God of Love in my heart would never allow such a thing. I have a massive fear of heights and seeing the videos and pictures of people falling from the WTC literally made me nearly faint.

Fortunately, God tapped my shoulder after a day or so, showed me that many are alive and then had my angel whisper (I really believe this) that God took those falling long before they hit the ground.

Everyone must arrive at his/her “shoulder tap” moment on his/her own timeline, based on how God wishes it. There is wisdom to be derived from the rigorous pursuit of faith.

As several of us have pointed out, Job was not just a story in the Bible — he was a very real man whose faith was so’erly tested.

Be kind and patient. That is God’s way.

I am calm d0oD. d0oD, the type of kindness and patience you're advocating to me, is YOUR interpretation of His way. One size does not necessarily fit all, d0oD. That's what makes America, America.
