I can’t believe in a God who’s intentional plan includes our suffering.

I understand the theological position of original sin and, although I was born with sin and didn’t have a choice or a chance not to sin, that I am still morally culpable for my behaviour and therefore condemned to eternal hell unless I repent.  I just can’t believe it anymore.  It doesn’t make sense.  God is all powerful and all knowing and all love… and there is incredible and horrific suffering at every moment in every part of the world.  Either God intended our suffering by knowing it would come and still allowing it to pass or he didn’t intend it and therefore not all knowing.  Either way.  I don’t buy it.
