Itâs heartening to hear you say, âGod is beyond even the laws of nature and our own comprehension.â In saying that, you have removed Him from the walls of rules and logic and allowed Him to be God. (Perhaps He thanks you for your generosity.) Iâm often called a heretic for doing the same thing.
The strange thing about people who say that a good god would not allow suffering is that they usually also say, âthe human race is, on the whole, intelligent and capable of solving its problems.â They take credit for the good and blame God for the bad, or they say there is no god because of the bad. Amanda is saying that God controls both good and bad. I say that God has left Himself many holes in the apparent order of nature through which to act, and act unreceptively, if He wants to. Like you say, its something I feel, beyond proof. I fully agree that my ignorance is beyond beyond.
