    Christians believe that because of the fall of mankind (in the Garden of Eden) that man has free will. As such, God does not control every single event. He is not to blame for the evil in the world as that comes from Satan, and from mankind's imperfect nature. He should be thanked for all the good in the world, though, as those things are gifts. It is interesting that many people only pray when tragedy has struck, or think of God and how to blame him when something terrible happens, whereas they may have ignored Him through all the good. That is probably just a part of human nature.

    I personally believe that the saying "everything happens for a reason" is false. I can't see a reason for these two incidents, I see them as random. I can't see a real reason why anyone is raped, murdered, molested, or any child dies from any cause. I do think that we each have a choice in how we deal with situations, though, although tragedies are hard to work through, we can either deal with them like John Walsh, for instance, or let them destroy us. I also think it is normal to want to blame someone, and God can be an easy target.

    • I don't want to sound rude, but how can you say God is not to blame for the "evil in the world" but say that he is for the good.
