Pastor’s Response to Atheist Who Asked Why God Allows Suffering Is Total Perfection

Like most pastors, the most common question Greg Locke gets from people—particularly nonbelievers—is why God lets bad things happen to good people. Why does He allow suffering?

It’s a valid question, especially if you don’t understand the love and mercy, grace and blessings, of our almighty and all-knowing God. But still, to have an answer to that question beyond some fluffed up version of Christian-ese is always a struggle.

That is—until Greg and another pastor took a trip to Africa together. The other pastor has Cerebral Palsy, and one heated incident with another passenger at the airport is now the source of Greg’s answer to the age-old question, “Why does God allow people to suffer?”
