Wow I spotted this too late, it would have been a topic I would love to write about!! When my friends ask me why do bad things happen if God exists, I have this tendency of asking them, when there are good things happening, do we also ask does God exist? Just a little thought with no intention of shaming anyone or religion :) very insightful posts from many for this question. Very interesting to read about the different thoughts, with respect.

Maybe one day down the road, I may still attempt to write about this topic, if that is fine by you :)
