Is God able to help everybody all the time?
by Gopher inlet's assume that there is a creator of life who gots things started eons ago.
that's my persuasion, although i am not actively religious.. one major problem with belief in a creator is that he/she/it is supposed to be benevolent, loving and caring.
many evangelical christians feel he has helped them personally in various ways, emotionally, even financially.
