The next time somebody questions your belief in G-d by citing human suffering (as in "What kind of G-d would allow for such suffering as there is in the world?), you can remind him of this remarkably rational argument made by Rabbi Steinberg:
"The believer in G-d has to account for one thing--human suffering; The non-believer has to account for everything else."
There is a great deal of wisdom in that statement and it is worth remembering, I think.

Shalom Zachor,
It was precisely the issue of human suffering which made me more of a believer...
