Now this is one powerful piece....i had to take a breathe at the end!
I love the tone of this write, how these questions tug at those who have a boxed "faith" and how the questions ultimately have answers that almost none of us like.
It was the end line that did it for me...if we are to take these things at face value at least the Devil does what it says on his tin......where as God, whilst revered to be all good all powerful and omnipresent, seemingly stands by while the young, innocent are taken and wrecked.
I suppose thats where "faith" comes into it to have faith that these things are for the best and to "trust" in his design.......thats a BIG ask, for me anyway.
You title was perfect and i love this write very sad though it is.
