Agree:
- Suffering seems to be a lack of love or a failure on God’s part – if he is omniscient how can he cope with knowing his people are suffering? If he is omnipotent why does he not stop it?
- A human father would never want his children to be harmed – so surely God is the same.

Disagree:
- Suffering is a part of life.
- Some would say suffering happens because of Adam and Eve’s fall in the garden of Eden.
