Tragedy and the Existence of God

10 years ago some people did some bad things.  Very bad things.

Many atheists claim that tragedy and sorrow like this is what makes them believe that there is no God.  I say tragedy and sorrow like this is simply proof that there IS a God.  Some people claim "If there was a God he wouldn't let something this bad happen".  However, I believe if there was no God, then there would be no such thing as right and good, and therefore there would be no such thing as wrong and evil.  So if there was no God, then what happened 10 years ago today was simply a decision made by a person, and there was no evil or badness involved.  Their own argument is precisely why they're wrong.  There must be a God, because what those people did all those years ago WAS bad.

God has so much love for us that he's not going to baby us through life.  He loves us enough to give us trials..  And we're going to keep on having trials until we have become perfect like His son.  In other words, the hard times never stop.  The good news is that we can become more and more like His son through our trials.  The other good news is that God and Jesus are both there to help us through everything, and I love them for that.

           Tragedy isn't the proof of the non-existence of God.
                                   It's a reminder.
