Think of it this way: The creative god loves his people and wants them to have eternal peace in paradise. However, they first have to live a human life filled with temptations and evils. If they pass the tests of behavior and faith, they get to go to heaven. If not, sorry.

It's a strange way to treat people you love.

Naturally, her family appeared on Good Morning America as soon as possible, where they declared that "God protected her until it was time to call her home."

In other words, God did good when she wasn't get murdered, and God did good when she was.

I wish I could be held to that standard!
