That is what I firmly believe.
I understand that some people find it hard to believe in God.
So do we all, at times.
We are human beings.
Why does God let us commit these sins against our own kind?
Because, I believe, we would not be people if we did not have freedom to think for ourselves.
Why then does God let us suffer tragedies that the earth herself is guilty of?
We live in a physical world, and such are its constraints.
If you were God yourself, you would understand.
But just because you are not God does not mean that you should not try to understand.
