(lb) If there is a God then why does he allow rape of children?
Every human is born naturally in pure darkness except a very small candle of light. By allegory, the light is the nature of God in us. The goal is to follow that light as we are taught so the darkness is eventually fully consumed. The way we follow is by expressing the instruction in outward visible fashion towards others. All that remains is us in God. If a person chooses not, no problem, they get to come back and try again. Only they come back the same as those who they afflicted. Eventually they get right with God.
