I do see that Jesus was tremendously compassionate, and was often moved by the plight of, say, lepers, or the blind. He healed quite a large number of folk during his ministry. What I can't get my head round (and bombard God with in my prayers) is why he seems to let people the world over go on suffering appallingly, doing absolutely zilch in the way of eradicating their distress & agony. OK, there are some successes at Lourdes, and some prayers are answered, but generally speaking, people (and even little children) suffer most terribly from famine, disease, terror, disabilities etc while God looks down unmoved. If Jesus and God are the same chap, why has this compassion not been put into operation?
And why should just one person's ardent prayers be answered but others get no response? Why should one sick child be healed but all the others go on suffering?
Surely if Jesus could heal ten lepers at one go, he could have healed the blooming lot of everything and done the job properly? And when one considers the Holocaust... where was God in all that eh? Just a spectator? I can almost hear God groaning when I begin my nightly prayers! "Oh Lord here she is again! That nagging old biddy!" while the angels get him a cup of tea and a digestive biscuit.
