By the way, I am not trashing anyone's belief system, I'm simply telling you mine. In fact, I envy those who have a belief in a compassionate, loving caring God. It's just that when I look around at the the horrors that go on, rape, murder, brutality and innocent children starving to death while we throw away almost as much food as we eat I have to wonder, if there is this God, is he/she/it asleep? I just can't reconcile the two.
