People thank God for helping them through ‘the bad’. Didn't God create this ‘bad’?
This question was prompted from a scene in the movie Fireproof, but I've struggled with this concept a lot.
A fireman almost gets hit by an oncoming train. He thanks God for not getting killed.
Wasn't God responsible for the train that almost killed him? A blunt question to illustrate my dilemma—is it reasonable to thank a near-murderer for
not actually murdering us? Why do religious people only recognize the saving part, but not the fact that God caused
what was needed to be saved from?
