Suffering, if you're a christian, suffering is a part of life. and it's not a bad thing, it is an essential thing in life... there are all different ways to suffer. one way to suffer is through lack of food and shelter and there's another way to suffer which is lack of dignity and hope and there's all sorts of ways that people suffer and it's not just tangible, it's also intangible and we have to consider both.

More From Rick Santorum

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

When you have your own bus, then you have dignity. when you have your own school, you have dignity. when you have your own country, you have dignity.when you have something of your own, you have dignity. but whenever you are begging for a chance to participate in that which belongs to someone else, or use that which belongs to someone else, on an equal basis with the owner, that's not dignity. that's ignorance.
Country School Ignorance
A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.
Girl Christian Teacher
The question is absurd: when you ask, 'if god is both all good and all powerful, why then does he allow suffering?', what you are really asking is, 'if god is both all good and all powerful, why then can he not make me (the questioner) - who is just as much a part of a universe in which there is suffering as is any other part - be at the same time the exact same questioner, but one who is now part and parcel of a universe in which there is no suffering?' which, reduced down, is the same thing as asking, 'why can there not be, at the same time, x and the preclusion of x?'
