We thought all the related birds had been separated but they are pretty hard to distinguish and you know, I believe in a loving God but also in one who doesn't necessarily interfere in things.<br /><br />Of course it's easy to blame ourselves (rightly or wrongly) in this case but there is so much inexplicable suffering and I agree, it doesn't match up with our ideas of a loving God.<br /><br />In my life the little bits of suffering I have seen were triggers for growth but it's hard to imagine that every suffering being needs it for growth.<br /><br />I wish I could answer you better but I can't, it's just something I accept because I don't really know how to live without believing in God.kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-21618008996409115132015-09-30T02:36:00.216+10:002015-09-30T02:36:00.216+10:00Kylie, how can you reconcile this suffering with y...Kylie, how can you reconcile this suffering with your belief in a all-loving deity? I wish I could, but even more than the lack of positive evidence for such a deity, I’m stymied by my awareness of innocent suffering. The preachers used to tell me that God would someday make all things right, but how can even God made undeserved suffering right?Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-58695687188068396792015-09-29T22:12:57.416+10:002015-09-29T22:12:57.416+10:00Mark,

I certainly don't envy you that job.<br /><br />Sometimes I see a story about some animal who has been abused dreadfully and is being nursed back to health and while I admire the efforts of the rescuers, I often think it is asking too much of the poor thing to carry on.kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-9575456313048327842015-09-29T20:36:48.781+10:002015-09-29T20:36:48.781+10:00Tough choice when it comes to animals--will euthan...Tough choice when it comes to animals--will euthanizing them end misery or stop recovery or growth. Generally if my dog has bit them i will end them, she is a spine snapper so if I leave them be they become lunch for the crows, whom I really do like; yet they can hunt without my help.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-5298771066963286912015-09-29T15:17:52.433+10:002015-09-29T15:17:52.433+10:00Thank you, Ramana!Thank you, Ramana!kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-80529233205061150372015-09-28T23:52:46.675+10:002015-09-28T23:52:46.675+10:00You are doing your best and you will be blessed.You are doing your best and you will be blessed.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-48658092397263244062015-09-28T20:09:46.973+10:002015-09-28T20:09:46.973+10:00EC,
