My daughter asked why doesn’t God just take Satan out.  

And not as in a date.  

Especially if He’s supposedly all knowing and can see all the present and future destruction wrought. She also asks the following quite a bit – if there are two armies at war and both claim to be on God’s side, who wins?

Those are really good questions.

I encourage her to keep asking and thinking. And I don’t know the exact answer to each. I also tell her my own doubts and questions for the Almighty.

My biggest charge against God isn’t the presence of suffering or evil but the fact He seems to do nothing.

Nothing.

I used to say Jesus dying on the cross is like her getting bullied on the playground, calling for my help, and I’d ignore her to hang myself on the swings.

One of the former deputy mayor of NYC and ex NYPD was investigated by the FBI and considered an unindicted conspirator after they found 300K in his accounts. I also once had a case where a 5 year old girl was raped simultaneously by her brother and his friend.

Sometimes, I just think – Stay on the cross if you won’t do nothing.

And yet I still believe. 

Because there is no other choice.

There is nowhere or no one else to go to.

This is still a song of hope.
