Evil is what God says, but He says it for a reason, unlike the arbitrary Allah

Well, yes, I believe God’s nature to be good, and that He is not arbitrary, but there are accounts in the Bible, and matters of creation that are hard for me to reconcile with the Good as I understand it. I still have faith, without everything being reconciled.

Some people find no moral conflicts and have faith, and others are brought up short by moral conflicts and lose faith or cannot come to faith, even when they desire it.
