"To those who ask
the question, “How can there be a loving God with so much evil in the
world?” My answer is simply that God has given every human being something
very powerful—the free will to make decisions. If He had not given us
the ability to make our own choices, He would be a dictator lording
over us. However, because we have the right to choose between good and
evil, love and selfishness, fear and faith, we set the course and atmosphere
in our lives and in the world around us. The good news is that God tells
us what to choose: life and love. Those who deviate from the right path
open the door for the negative things we see taking place in the world
today. The choices people make and the negative consequences that follow
are not God’s fault; He is always prompting us to choose what is right."
