loving OR powerful

people think god is both all loving and all powerful. are these so-called people insane? how can an all loving god let you get cancer? i know, i know, there's a plan, we can't see it, we're part of some great "thing" or something where he gets to know what's going on and we have to pretend it's perfectly all right to get cancer. in fact, it's fantastic because we get to go back to him and hang out and chill and see our buds. but... seriously.... i'm not that nice.... and i would never let you get cancer. or a kid get cancer. or a plane crash. or the whole darfur thing. i would never let that happen, and i think for god to be called, "loving" he should be at least as nice as i am. another explanation is that god is nice, but not that effective. like, keeping the clouds up or "sound" working is really really hard and he doesn't have time to make cancer go away for everyone. he's busy, okay?! what do you think? god is loving and you have to come up with some kind of bullshit rationalization for all the terrible things he lets happen... (i.e.: the devil. god made the devil and can control the devil but doesn't because this whole life business is this awful test but instead of failing you burn in hell forever. nice). or... god's a basically good guy who can't get much done. like my dad.
