 New article by my pastor: Suffering no argument against God. 

"The brilliant man in the video was asked whether he believed in God. He said the amount of suffering he sees in the world makes it hard for him to believe in a God who is good and loving.

This is a common argument among skeptics. Suffering is bad, so God must not be good. He’s either too weak to do anything about it or unconcerned with it."

 @f0140f36 Good "judo move" argument against agnostics who see serpent as a good guy, letting people know good and evil. What they miss,by the very design of this world knowing good&evil inevitably causes suffering. Even more of what they miss is that serpent also doesn't tell Adam&Eve that it feeds on suffering. That is the core deception.
