After the incident this past week at Fort Hood, many will undoubtedly ask again, why does God allow suffering, well I did not answer it as a whole for all people. However I do offer my opinion why Christians must suffer, and I am sure that there are Christian suffering right now because of loved ones and relatives who are suffering from the heinous act of terrorism at Fort Hood this past week. And I am sure that their are some Christian soldiers, who are now recovering in the same hospital as their attacker is. I pray this goes a little ways to alleviate the pain, suffering, heartache, and angst that is felt by many.

Why is it every time there is some 'act' of violence, everybody wants God to be held to account? He gave US gray matter and it is NOT His fault if the majority of His children will not used the very brain cells HE gave them to use.

How about we point that accusing finger right where it belongs to those who allowed this man access to our military family, when he already made it known he wanted OUT.

Please show me where I once blamed God for what happened? You are the second individual that claims I am blaming God for pain and suffering in the world.

What I said was God allows it to continue because it works in His ultimate plan of salvation. And I am specifically talking about Christians. Ultimately, man is responsible for pain, suffering, and heartache in the world, I just gave my opinion on why He allows it to continue for Christians.

Does anyone ever read anything anymore? Or does everyone pick and chose a sentence and take it out of context just so they can make a point?

You give God credit for when things go good, don't you?
