Okay, just gonna throw my 2 cents in here. Yes, I am a Christian. No, I don't believe that Christians have a corner on morality, but I do believe we are the only ones who have accepted the gift of salvation. (Note that I said accepted, not the only ones who are given God's grace and salvation - those gifts are offered to everyone.) I know many good and moral people who are not Christians.
I also agree that God allows evil. That is a price we pay for being given free will. If we didn't have free will, we wouldn't be able to make bad choices and sin and evil would not exist. Given that, can God use what happened on 9/11 to bring the world closer to Him? You bet! He can use anything - no matter how horrible - to fulfill His plan.
I also want to say that I think this topic has been handled quite well. There are obviously people who hold strong opinions that differ greatly from each other. I'm so glad no one descended into name-calling or insulting each other in any way.
GE, thanks for opening up this topic and for the info on your first post. It's certainly food for thought. And RadarO, thanks for your replies and for making us think about another point of view.
