And you lazily ignore posters who challenge you, send them creepy PMs between putting them back on ignore, offer to chat I-2-1 in games instead of in the threads or even bizarrely in the PM function.

You have become a very odd character over the last 18 months Kellyjay.

If God exists, He either 'cannot' prevent evil or simply doesn't care about it.
Not in a species he made to have free will.

Someone told me this. I don't necessarily support it.

God and his angels operate in the subconscious world, and we mortals in the physical world.
God cannot, or won't, interfere in the physical world.
Same as we can not interfere in the subconscious world.
But God use mortals, ie me and you, to change things, or situations in the physical world.
If we can not, or will not, change a situation we suffer in, then its on us.
So we have a choice.
Does it make sense?
What about biblical miracles? Clearly God got involved in the physical world then.

According to your beliefs, could your God figure intervene to prevent cancer in babies and children if he wanted to? If not, is it something to do with the free will of those babies and children?

I don't think the above two statements are homogeneous. The Bible does indeed include miracles where God got involved in the physical world, and by so doing 'did' intervene with human freewill.

Why then wouldn't an all powerful and all loving God intervene to prevent the suffering of a innocent child (for example) when the Bible illustrates He has done so before?

Why don't you start your thread, since the link that speaks to this isn't on your menu?

More than "the usual suspects." Gad, the Spirituality Forum has gotten dull.
