Philosophy

Ever heard this argument?: If something is perfect, it must first exist. If God is perfect, then He must exist. Does perfection imply goodness? If so, then God must be good. But if He is good, why do bad things happen to good people?

Bad things are classified as bad by humans, who are imperfect. Perhaps they are good things in a universal context. But tell that to the woman who loses a son to some rare form of leukemia, or the man who's brother's life is taken by a tornado. This leads to the whole, "life is unfair" catchphrasing. Sometimes, it'd be nice to know a little more about why "bad" things happen to some and not others.

Perhaps we'll know after death. But what if we don't? Sometimes, I think it's a burden to even be allowed to reach this kind of thought process.
