Only conscious suffering makes any sense.
Most suffering is a mistake, caused by Desire (A major tenant of Buddhism)

If you were given an answer to your question do you think you could
understand it?

I believe that to understand an answer ("an" not "the") to your question,
which was of course, Job's question...)-  - one must
understand the philosophical implications that come from
Quantum Mechanics.(I have faith in Super Symetery)

Ah, when I get aroound to posting the Doctrines of
The Church of Variable Likelihood...:-)

The 'dance' is Job's. I think you know that. Stay real. This could really
get interesting. The subject is Theodicy. No contemplation of it is a
'dance'. 
-> 
-> Either your god enjoys watching people suffer or your god can't 
-> do a damned thing about it.

You don't know his God. Nor do you know mine. You have a very
anthropomorphic view of God. This allow a lot of God-kicking.

There's a lot of stupidity in religion.
Theres a lot of stupidity in government
Theres a lot of stupidity in the way people treat one another.
Theres a lot of suffering around.
If you wanted to end it, rather than blaming the God You Imagine
for it, in short if you would reslly DO something aboout it,
you can end it. Guarenteed. Beome a Mahayana Buddhist.
That's their thing. First off, right-away-quick, they jump right in ON it.
Suffering! If that is your most important complaint about life,
Learn all about it. End it!

The Focus of Christianity might seem to be vastly different, but
that's only because the Good News is drowned out by the
Tinkling of the coins, the rustling of them big bucks...

Well, I tried that but Her line was busy doing Important Things,
so I settle for talkin' to Sub-Assistant Angel For This Sector #465--
and She tells me a lot of stuff I think she stole from the New Testament.
You know that 'rejoice' crap, and the 'be thsnkful' tritism...
As if I dodn't know THAT already...
THEN She told me a great Secret...but you don't wanna hear about THAT...

Cheers!
