You see, there was information withheld or unknown before. The assumption was made that an individual committed the crime, but upon further investigation, it was not a creation of God which killed the children but God Himself. That's a huge difference.

You see, God is God and can do things because of a greater understanding of His system. An individual doing that would be committing an evil act, but God isn't an individual.
So when people say God is good, it's an utterly meaningless statement. OK.

As I've said before, you have a problem with God's system. Many do.
I have a huge problem with what people say is God's system. And I think they are wrong.

God is good. It's people who in their free will produce pain and suffering on mankind.

What do you think God's system is? Personally.

Oh? God has not produced pain or suffering on mankind? Really? Well, I have to agree with you. But I thought you believed the Bible!

It's a hands-off policy. I don't believe God ever intervenes in man's affairs, and never speaks to people.

Yes, that's deism. It's the only -ism that makes any sense at all, to me.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up Isaiah 13. Most people who are in question of God's actions do.

Do you believe man is a free will creation of God?

Exodus is my favorite.

Man has free will, whether God created us or not.

We partially agree. I guess that's a start.
