A parent can protect their child. A parent can stop their toddler from entering the kitchen alone, where they may be burnt by the flame of the stove. Any good parent would protect their child this way.
However, it's been said that we are all God's children. God, at his level of power, could certainly stop murder, violence, pain, etc. But he does not.
Now, if a child were to enter the kitchen, and the parent were to sit on the couch, watching through the doorway as their child places his curious fingers within the flame of the stove, the parent is considered a bad mother or father; people and society would despise them.
But when God sits by, in Heaven, and watches as murder, violence, pain, etc., occurs, we praise him, and preach his name.
What makes the biological parent a bad person for not protecting their child, and the religious parent (God) worthy of great praise?
