Hi iceage,
Your question is very similar to the oft' asked 'why does God allow evil?' question. The threads usually result in a discussion of what 'evil' is.
However, I would promote this, because I have been asked the same question a few times recently. I know there is more than one person here awaiting and interested in the topic.
Do you think you can deal with the same old arguments you know will come up? Is it worth the time? If you say yes, I will go ahead, unless anyone else wants to do it right away. I am new at this.
