@dalehileman,
''WHY'' has God permitted suffering,? Being an Atheist yet I believe God, because we choose to cause pain and suffering to others . God gave us choices on how ''To be Honest'' with ourselves and so ''To Be Honest ''with others . Life can still be ruled in as much the same way with leaders such as Heads of States , Kings and Queens , Rich and Poor if only everyone could be just this one commandment , ten letters one commandment , ten commandments thought up by man to be broken by man , ruled by man . A Simple but effective way of living and yes with all the same rewards for the people .An Atheist and who or what your belief , lived with the one simple commandment or the one sentence with ten simple letters lived with ''To be Honest ''in everyway why God would be proud of us all
