Re: "Taking it on faith," Letters, July 3
I'm left bewildered by such theological/spiritual notions that God, for example, would allow one praying couple's child to survive an illness while allowing another praying couple's child to perish, even with great suffering. Furthermore, I cannot but reluctantly find that by saying grace before a meal, we, the well-fed, are - because of the bitter reality of large-scale Earthly starvation - in effect assuming that our Creator has found one portion of this planet's populace worthy of nourishment while allowing another to go hungry.
