Bill:  I'm certainly not god...I'm not omniscient or omnipotent....I'm just an old guy doing the best I can.  If I see something bad which might happen, I do the best I can to work to keep it from happening.  For example, I campaigned against the election of Mr. Trump.  I didn't "let" that happen, it happened w/o my assistance or approval. 

As I stated previously, I find it contradictory that a "just and caring god" would know something bad was going to happen, would have the power to keep it from happening, but would allow it to happen.  Let's use an extreme example...an innocent three year old chases a ball into the street and is struck and killed by a car.  Could you explain that one for me....thanks, Gary Crum
