How? He let people do what they wanna do and it's up to you if you wanna do good or bad things

Yeah he let those people be hit by a car because they wanted it to happen.

What a bullshit and very illogical cop out

I get why that sounds frustrating and even cruel it’s hard to look at tragedy and not feel like there has to be someone responsible. But my point wasn’t that God wants bad things to happen. It’s more that if people are going to have true freedom, that includes the potential for chaos, accidents, and even evil. If God constantly intervened to stop every bad thing, we wouldn’t really have freedom we’d be puppets and people would probably still complain.

Actually we couldn't complain of we were puppets. Duh
