Bear with me here.
If:
1) God is the heavenly "father" of every person on earth, and
2) God loves all his children, and
3) Most human parents would heal their child of agonizing pain if they had the power to do so (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070528083442AA53oT8&pa=FYd1D2bwHTHwLLplEuw_SQlQDC0sMbrTpJA_RDsIZIzmXv.iTe_mFn2bpvkV6cHy.z4jnS0W8v0U5A--&paid=asked&msgr_status= ) and,
4) God has the power to do anything he wants, including healing people,
Doesn't it logically follow that,
5) as a loving "parent" capable of healing his children, the fact that God does not heal many babies born with crippling defects shows that either (a) he does not exist or (b) on of the above premises (1-4) must be false.
In other words, either God does not exist, or he is not our father, or he is not loving, or he is not capable of healing children. Or, of course, all those parents who said they would heal their children given the chance were lying.
I'm confused.
