I understand. God can even kill children, and still be thought of as good. In fact, he demands that we think he is good, no matter what he does. So, if we read a newspaper account of a... well, I was going to say a crime, but let's not pass judgement, just yet. Here, let's dive into a (made-up) example:
An unknown individual broke into a daycare center yesterday, and opened fire with an assault weapon, killing all the children and workers present. Investigators have no idea of the identity of the individual
