The Friendly Atheist, a few days back, posted this thought-provoking article:

♦ Why Does God Allow Suffering?

The stream of comments below the article are really interesting to read and consider.

I have to say, this whole concept (along with the absurdity of a slow-spreading revealed religion being the best method an omnipotent god could come up with to spread the only means by which a person avoids eternal punishment for being created a flawed human outside theirn own control) was what clinched my disbelief in any Judeo-Christian idea of God, after years of sincere belief. There’s simply no reasonable excuse, explanation, apology, for it.
