The author argues about the existence of God and why bad things happen to people. He argues that there is no reason for God who loves and great to permit inculpable nonbeliever. The existence of God is dependent on the belief and the mental status of the person. He argues that if God existed then there is no reason for nonbelief and every reasonable person would have been brought to believe in him. God’s existence or nonexistence cannot be proved based on the happenings but the individual’s conviction.
The author illustrates that the argument does not demonstrate that there is no God since there are loops left in the argument. He illustrates that the Christians belief is based on the biblical teachings that demonstrate that God is not hidden but is available to those who believe in him and seek him. The Christians believe that God cannot force himself on anyone but allows the people to decide and purpose to seek him.

The author indicates that if God is loving and great. Therefore nothing bad would happen to those who believe in him. He illustrates that even in the Bible, God is hidden and it is quoted ‘My God my God why have you forsaken me?’. The arguments are indecisive to some extent as they do not have a staunch stand to whether or not God exists and if he can permit the occurrence of bad things.
Reading the passage does not make one change their worldview but it is enlightening on the critics the non-believers hold about the greatness and the love of God. It is a personal decision to decide if there is God or not and that is irrespective of whether what happens is good or not. Thus the existence or nonexistence of God cannot be proved majorly based on the happenings but the individual’s conviction.
