Even the best of Christians are troubled by the question, "Why does an almighty God send, or at least allow, suffering?" When you are nagged by thoughts like this, say to yourself, "I am still in elementary school.

These people cannot understand how anyone can be a Christian and not want to win every soul they meet.
