So when I see something that seems bad to me, I remember that its likely beyond my understanding. I guess that is where faith comes in.

    So the short answer is yes, the Corona Virus Pandemic is part of it. I can see that if our world was perfect, without what we feel as pain, we would not be learning anything.
    My sense is that God has nothing to do with corona virus

    Corona virus seems to have originated from the unsanitary and inhumane conditions we have kept and bred our domestic animals and captive exotic wild species.

    That is on us. We willfully chose how to manage and treat animals.

    The Saint Augustinian view is that God imbued us with the gift of free will, and much of the evil and suffering in the world results from our abuse of free will.

    Why did God give us free will? I never heard a theologian answer that. Do you know?

In such desperate times, the vanquished race would perish without a doctrine that restored hope and pride. Islamic fundamentalism ascends from the same landscape of despair and possesses the same tremendous and patient appeal. - Steven Pressfield

    Can you see the difference between the Biden supporter and the Trump Supporter.

    One believes we live in a fallen world, the other a hopeful world not yet to see its peak.
    This word you keep using...fundamentalism...I do not think it means what you think it means.

    It is a pretty vague term.

    "Fundamentalism" is not a vague term. It means what it means.

    Because God desires a relationship with His created beings. Relationship requires commitment and commitment is impossible without free will.
