Unless I missed something I cannot see where anyone alluded to that.

Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.
That is a great answer and how many times can we see where if people would humble themselves , come to the Saviour , confess their sins, so much suffering would be illuded. Not to say of course that Christians do not have suffering and pain but we have a big God whom we can rely on to help us through all our tials and temptations. We serve a great Big God.... Who in the world can say that.?

Well, I think if you openly look at this, it is saying God does not care about you unless you look for him, or praise him. Therefore, when we take the explanation as noted by that story, God does not care about people of other religions, or even new born babies, since they do not have the capacity, mentally, to appreciate God. This is a very flawed explanation when you look into it, I believe.

The sad thing is we cannot even look for Him unless He draws us first.
