Reply #156: I never said it wasn't [View All]

Those are two separate paragraphs. I merely said that the "everything happens for the best" stuff irks me, but not as much as the single-sided view of God that he is to get credit for the good stuff but no blame for the bad stuff.

Sorry I didn't make it clearer I was moving from the one-paragraph direct response to Kushner to another aspect of the central question in further paragraphs.

EDIT - On rereading I see where my problem was. The third paragraph brings the two together but only in the sense that if we accept Kushner's premise that bad things sometimes happen, why can't we accept that good things simply just happen too. Yes I absolutely should have been clearer.
