How does free will account for the suffering caused by natural disasters?
If God gives us free will in the knowledge that some of us will use it to not comply with his commands, why does he punish us for doing so?
In short, why does he give us free will and then expect us to forego its use?
Once again, the only sensible approach is tentatively to reject the dragon hypothesis, to be open to future physical data, and to wonder what the cause might be that so many apparently sane and sober people share the same strange delusion
