Free will is a myth. Kids who got shot in schools or have terrible parents have no free will.

I can agree with some of this, but free will is a gift. I often have to ask myself, is this what God wanted? Yet, that doesn't make me a non-believer. I try to carry my relationship with God the way I did with my own father, and the way I did with my children. And although there were many things me or my children didn't understand why our fathers did what they did, I accepted them because I knew my best interest was at heart.  Now, before you start rampaging that kids dying and all the other brutalities in life are in my best interest, it's not. But I do believe that one day, all things will be revealed to me and everything will have an explanation. I am 100% confident that God didn't want any children or any innocent person to die.

I question God often. I question mankind often. I believe there is a struggle beyond what I am able to understand. I can't explain most of these things, and I don't feel I'm chosen to do so. Many times I feel I could/would do more harm trying. I do know that I believe. What I don't understand, is the hatred towards believers. So many people are accepting of many types of people.  But let someone say God Bless You or Praise be to God, and the hate begins. Doesn't make sense to me. And this hate comes from those who claim we should accept people and their differences.
