A Good Christian Mother and No Divine Intervention

She was a good Christian mother
with a good Christian husband,
she met in a church,
and they had two young children.

Her father was immensely wealthy.
She didn’t need to work.
She chose to become a teacher
to live a life of service to ohters
in this world.

Despite her dedication to teaching
children, her goodness, and her
devotion to God

she was raped and murdered on
a morning jog.

Nobody who knew her could
understand why God allowed that
to happen to her.

And I can’t understand that either
after seeing crime show after crime
show where alarming numbers of
women are raped and murdered.

I can only conclude we’re living in
a screwed up wicked world where
that can happen to so many women,

where no matter how religious
they are, no angels protect them.
No God comes to their aid.

This leaves me wondering why
there’s no Divine intervention for
all the women killed by wicked men.

And I can see why atheists believe
there is no God.
