Why is there evil and suffering?

58. Precious, you need to learn the difference between blocking and ignoring.

If you decide to present yourself as a "mature" individual, I'll be happy to have an adult conversation with you. I do confess to being antagonistic to some of your meaner friends. However, my antagonism is born of my own interaction with them. I don't put you and Trottles in that category. I find you both quite adorable in a funny kind of way. My antagonism is directed toward the bullies you tend to scamper around with.

You ask the OP Who wastes their time worrying about such shit?
Well, apparently, a lot of folk worrying about such shit. Some become doctors and nurses, others set up soup kitchens. Many care about these things and many of those are motivated by their role model, a guy called Jesus. The stories most hold onto are those where Jesus cared for the poor, the sick and the destitute. Those I speak to, consider Jesus a symbol of our own potential to be a good neighbor. They don't talk about being "saved" or "heaven and hell" and other fundie rubbish.
