In question number 10 , you said that “God doesn’t cause the suffering in the world, we do!” Well if that’s true then what about the animal kingdom. There is so much pain and suffering in the animal kingdom. Food chain is cruel. So many vile things like male lion killing baby lions, animals rejecting the runt of the litter and so on. If God cries bitter tears over the actions of man then I cry bitter tears over her actions. Why did god design the animal kingdom this way?

J.S. Thompson’s Response:

Again, it’s not God’s action; its man’s! God allows man free will. It must be this way because without free will, man could never evolve into a divine being capable of living in an immortal community forever. The entire process of coming to earth and living a temporary mortal life is a facade, a lie really. It is a man-made concept, not God made. And man has been injecting his silliness into the process since the beginning. When it’s all said and done, those animals will live in peace. Nothing ever dies! God can teach us without pain and suffering but man in his stupidity can’t hear God, but one day we all do eventually!

Thanks for your question.
