If the god(s) are moral and nice, why do they allow things that aren't moral or nice?

SpokaneFāVS is pleased to announce the addition of "Ask A Quaker" and "Ask A Hindu" to its popular Ask series.

The sound secular position is that governments ought to have no power to coerce belief, or enforce lack of it. That was the principle on which our Republic was founded, and it ought to be the model for all the earth.

To be secular in a personal sense means not governing ones life based on religious dogmas, even though one can appreciate their social sides.

The short answer is that a belief in reincarnation is not automatically an endorsement of gods (or "devils", whatever they are), and so you can believe in reincarnation and be an atheist too.

That's an easy one (for me at least): yes, at least the Jesus part.
