Can we answer the question, "Why, God?"

There's another good op-ed piece in the New York Times today entitled "Why, God?".  In it, a priest wrestles with the questions of suffering, why God allows bad things to happen, and what an appropriate response is.  Again, it doesn't answer all the questions, but offers a perspective based on compassion, faith, & life experience.

"One true thing is this: Faith is lived in family and community, and God is experienced in family and community. We need one another to be God’s presence."
