I have someone I see on a daily basis that is very religious/christian. I once asked her about how God can be all knowing and at the same time grant me free will. The two cannot co-exist. After a few minutes she said, God's just so big". This is her, and other christians I know, response when they cannot answer a question logically. His plan is just so big. Your childhood questions are good ones but I can tell you now, that is where they lead he's just so big.

I enjoyed reading your thoughts on why young people are leaving, I think it's pretty spot on. I know a number of young people that think of Christ's teachings as more of a philosophy. I tend to agree with this.
