'...how do Christians seek to reconcile the existence of suffering and God's apparent passivity? Unlike atheists, we believe that the inevitable question "Why?" is in fact crucial evidence that we intrinsically believe things don't happen by chance, that someone is in control and that that things don't have to be this way. It seems counter-intuitive initially, but when we ask the question "Why?" we actually reveal that w believe there is a God, and not just any God, but a God who could and should be powerful enough to make things different, and who might care enough to want to both answer our question and make things better. The question "Why?" reveals that none of us can escape the paradox that we believe in a powerful and loving God, albeit we don't understand how we can reconcile this with a broken world replete with injustice and suffering.'
