Don't say that it isn't my place to question him. He gave us reason, what was he expecting? I don't personally believe in God, but let us assume for a moment that it is true. God has done things that seem pretty awful, but obviously he has no problem with us knowing about them, they're in the Bible. For example, Sodom and Gamorrah (sp?). Okay, I'm not entirely sure of the story here, but apparently the people in those two cities were doing some pretty "awful" things, like being homosexual (I don't think it's bad, just bear with me here) and molesting children, etc. Okay. So God had to destroy them. If I'm remembering correctly, he gave Lot a chance to find any innocent (as if that exists) people in the cities. Why didn't Lot say anything about the children of Sodom and Gamorrah? And why didn't God, in his omnipotence, already know about any innocent people in the cities? Seems a little cruel to utterly destroy a bunch of "not so bad" people, not to mention the children.
