(171 posts)86. I'm glad you don't have God's power.
Or anyone else for that matter. Only God can be trusted with it. I rather like my agency and I'm glad God doesn't take it away and force everyone to be "nice" that's slavery of the worse kind. And as for curing every desease and there never being a natural disaster, well that's mortality without it the planet really would be over populated. You should understand everything God does is for the benefit of his children. We are on earth to get a body among other things. Your understanding and perspective is nothing like Gods.
