I entered this question into the Google Search Engine, "how could god allow this to happen?" this opened a flood gate.
Questions of why god allows bad things to happen to "good" people or why he allows bad things to happen to innocent people etc.,etc. The best we can understand the meaning of all this is that god allows a "crap shoot" to happen and the random consequence of it appears to shake him up just like it shakes most of us up. This appears to be "it", the answer. Probably, I was influenced by the current news of the massacre of the children in Connecticut.
There is a scientific rule which
proclaims, "if it can go wrong it will go wrong". If "god" is
involved, what is the point? What Is it that he is trying to show
us?

The only point I can figure is that if god can do it, then he will eventually do it. If so, then wouldn't that make god a willful killer? The answer is "yes" but the observation is "so what, god makes the rules".
But to me that would be like kicking the can down the road.
What about babies? What about unbaptized babies? Why would they go to hell?
Too many unanswered questions for my taste. I
vote for "god does not exist" and all the silly questions go away. And
all of a sudden creatures who can think abstractly (us) become the captains
of our own intellectual ships.
