"And then there's the old chestnut; how can a God of love allow all the suffering in the world?
I can't answer this one yet."
If you want the biblical answer, all you have to do is ask.

Free will enables one to do harm to another.
Evil is not Gods doing it is mans choice.
The suffering of a few teaches compassion to many.

Got to agree... Sometimes good can come of suffering (I can think of my route to becoming Christian, for one thing). I was a literally very young Christian when I wrote that!
Suffering is a sort of by product of free will. God doesn't want it, but His love for us grants us the freedom to do what we wish, and suffering is often a consequence of man's selfishness. Kind of like when you're a parent, sometimes your kids get hurt, you don't want them to get hurt, but they learn a lot from it!

As for what to put in your *empty space* - something funny or something relating to your life or something just nice
