Harold S. Kushner Quotes
How Seriously Would We Take Person Who Said, "I Have Faith In Adolf Hitler, Or In John Dilinger. I Can't Explain Why They Did The Things They Did, But I Can't Believe They Would Have Done Them Without A Good Reason." Yet People Try To Justify The Deaths And Tragedies God Inflicts On Innocent Victims With Almost These Same Words.
Furthermore, My Religious Commitment To The Supreme Value Of An Individual Life Makes It Hard For Me To Accept An Answer That Is Not Scandalized By An Innocent Person's Pain, That Condones Human Pain Because It Supposedly Contributes To An Overall Work Of Esthetic Value. If A Human Artist Or Employer Made Children Suffer So That Something Immensely Impressive Or Valuable Could Come To Pass, We Would Put Him In Prison. Why Then Should We Excuse God For Causing Such Undeserved Pain, No Matter How Wonderful The Ultimate Result May Be?
