Does God Owe Anyone An Apolgoy

Does God Owe Anyone an Apology?
                                                     
When misfortune and bad luck strikes
Many of us feel God is either dead or owes us an apology.
Certainly, if you find yourself at the wrong time and place.
All you can do is pray for mercy.
Perhaps he needs to do things differently before the fanatics wipe us out.
In modern life, there are many ways to learn to be good
School does this, a nice film or a good song does this too.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not advocating atheism—
Kids need God to protect them from the boogey man late at night.
However, as adults, the concept of an invisible man
You meet after you die may sound a little far-fetched.
But, if you are suffering any kind of serious illness or are at the end of your life,
You may find comfort in believing heaven.
Everyone wants to make it to heaven but no one wants to die.
