Reply to Brian Peterson - Apart from a few minor quibbles about the precise
statement of something, I agree heartily with your article.  RIGHT ON!!

Looking at the suffering in the world -- physical and mental suffering --
I feel a tremendous need for an "explanation" of WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.
(What I mean here is that I want to understand the necessity of this
suffering for an end that fully justifies the suffering.  I can't imagine that
there is such an end, but I am not ruling out its possibility.)
Maybe there is no "explanation".  Maybe the "explanation" is not good enough.
But if there is a god out there, I sure want to hear his "explanation".
I don't just want it; I need it.  My being cries out for it.
