Again I have to ask, why not?
There is a difference between what we want and what is. Believe me, I want to believe in a being who cares about everyone, can do anything, and knows all there is. That there will be a balance and accountability for good and evil, punishment and reward for a life lived well. I just have trouble reconciling this world (and the suppositions of most religions) with what I see as reality in the present. Does not the presence of Evil itself contravene the edict that God is both All-Powerful or that he is All-Good? Both cannot be true.
