Suffering is not God's fault. It is the fault of every individual who, when push comes to shove, would rather put their own personal freedom and comfort ahead of anyone else's. I include myself in this. I have barely started the journey he wants to take me on.

What about those who don't want to suffer and be subject to pain, who don't know how to ask for help? or those who might not know how, or don't want to ask for the help in stopping subjecting the pain?
To me it's all about if you don't ask you don't get. if you don't let him know that you think he's great he doesn't want to know and will ignore you.
