If God exists according to every religion I can find God is defined as the "originator of all creation".
In the vaguely Christian theology that runs in the back ground with me and many others, he createed all from nothing.
So there can be no argument if you believe in creation that God is ultimately responsible for satan, cancer, nuclear weapons, Jermey Beadle, the recent firestorms etc.
CLEARLY this does not square with the idea of a "loving god" but, please consider this simple fact. If we are indeed living in a creation then we are trying to undertsand the mind and plans of God who can create all.
You have no chance of doing that! I don't care, HOW clever you are, or how big your hat and robes are, it ain't going to happen. It's worse than expecting a cat to learn how to solder!
So please don't expect Desmond or any other Christian to have all the answers as to why god made this the way he did.
But it must be painfully obvious to even the dmmiest of us, that there is a fundamental difference between Good and Evil acts, & Truth and Falsehood. Choose wisely.
It all stems from School. Intelligent Kids aren't allowed to shine; as the other kids 'have to catch up'. Then, when children get older, cliques and niches form. Divide and conquer rules the roost. And, now, we have an entire generation of Young Men who seek vengeance on our society.
'Cater to the Greater' is not the recipe for a healthy, cohesive society. Which is why Democracy is pointless. In fact, the least corrupt mode of governance is an Absolute Monarchy.
The Salesmen of the World, USA, sold us Lemons; for as long as they could. Now, we are no longer capable of making Lemonade out of it.

Yes, it's called equality. Intelligent kids can shine all they like but if you're leaving everyone else behind then what kind of society are you creating?

In one paragraph you seem to be complaining that intelligent kids aren't allowed to shine because everyone else has catch up, but then you say that catering to the greater won't work. Can you explain how that is not a contradiction?
And are you saying that you would prefer an absolute monarchy?
It feels like your points are laced with personal grievance.
