I've said I was done posting on this thread but, one more time I guess. I agree with fbhw17. If you are a parent that truly loves their child do you keep them sheltered from everything the big bad mean world has to offer or do you let them create their own destiny. You will always be there for direction and a shoulder to cry on but ultimately you will have to turn them loose so they create their own path. This is how God views us. Sure he could create a perfect Utopia where nothing bad happens, he is visible with our eyes, we automatically are programmed to worship him, etc, etc. But isn't it more fulfilling to have someone recognize you as Creator and King because they chose to and not because they were forced to.
Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.
