I haven't forgotten about you. I'm still deciding how to answer you.
If one were to try to think things through logically, I guess it comes down to a question with an unknowable answer: Why existence?
Why does the Universe exist?
Can we explain man's agony and remain committed to believing in a Universe with a god? I have believed in God despite my (formally) intractable illness. I believed that there was a good chance that I would never get well. Still, I was able to reconcile this with the perfection of Creation. How do you explain the pain and misery that exists in the world if God is supposed to represent all that is good? I have no problem answering this question for myself.
The Spirit.
