[QUOTE="Loonie"]If god is all powerful then everything that ever happens, be it genetic disorder, natural disaster, disease, virul infection, whatever, happens for either 1 of two reasons:
1) God made it happen
or
2) God let it happen

And that would be number two.
Your kid, who knows the rules, breaks them. Do you let him get off with it, or do you let him live with the consequences?
I like to look at God issues from a parent-child perspective, only cosmic. It helps put a lot of things into perspective, but it can't be used for everything.
I agree completely on the Parent-Child perspective. But instead of punishing the child, he patiently waits for the child to learn by its mistakes. Even if it takes who-knows-how-many lifetimes to do.
