Good morning everyone
I thought it would be interesting to discuss with you guys the belief of God being in control of everything. One of the most common arguments that people tend to use against the existence of God is "Why is there such pain and suffering in the world if God is in control?" Oftentimes in Irish churches (which tend to be predominantly Catholic) they would say that 'God is mysterious' and leave it at that.
On the contrary, if we say that God is not in control of everything that happens in the world then is he truly an omnipotent God?
So, what do you guys think? Is God in control? Is he not? or is there another explanation entirely?
