Freedom is all that matters. Freedom is all that matters to God and therefore to we humans. Everything else is window dressing. This is the only possible explanation for this our violent, dangerous and deadly “as is” world. If ours is a God created order, all of our experienced craziness has to have a God function. Why did God so design our world?
Why are
children born without arms? Why are political protesters gunned down in the
streets by a tyrant? Why cancer or heart disease? Why war? Why an airliner crash
over the Potomac? Why are Chinese pathogen labs in our residential
neighborhoods? Maybe evil is somehow our fault, we dump enough garbage into our
lives resulting in suffering but that can’t be the whole story, that can’t be the
whole mind of God. Why is it normal for the innocent to be victims of evil?
Answer: because
only in this our world can we get a taste of God freedom and learn to value that
freedom. Progress is a slow walk.
