Lesson

On my wishlist: Every time someone ecstatically exclaims "God is good!" she instantly finds herself transformed into a Yazidi girl being gang raped by her ISIS captors; or finds himself in Israel being incessantly stabbed by a Palestinian terrorist; or transported to a plane crash with both legs torn off, her children mangled and burned beyond recognition; or turned into a child, in rags, begging in the rain, with a belly that's not had a morsel for a day and a night; or a Syrian refugee, with his wife, children, and fellow citizens, being refused asylum in all European countries; or ....

With all the evil in the world and the suffering millions, how egregiously obscene and perverse it is to even suggest calling an omnipotent being good.
