We are in Spiritual Kindergarten

"The world is a kind of spiritual kindergarten where millions of bewildered infants are trying to spell "God" with the wrong blocks." - Edwin Arlington Robinson

"If the Creator is infinite, then the Creator is also infinitely patient, and I think that farsightedness and patience is at the root of why the Creator seems cruel. Those who protest the cruel-seeming Creator risk being like children who can't think with far enough a view like parents, and so if parents let a child fall off his bike instead of always being there, it's to make him a better bicyclist. All the child sees is abandonment." - Montalk
