Random Stranger posted:The question of "Why does God let bad things happen?" has been at the center of Christian theological thinking for as long as there has been Christianity. It's something that Christians have to deal with every day if they're going to remain Christians. Being presented with that question in a film with a Christian movie isn't going to shake anyone. One problem with modern Christianity is prosperity theology, which states materially good things will happen to good people. I think it's poisoned everything - it's made racism worse, contributed to the immorality of the Republican Party, etc. It's why these movies don't show Christians suffering - that's contradictory to the type of faith they're selling. I mean really, there's a book in the Bible titled Lamentations. Obviously bad things happen to good people. But church leaders avoid those kinds of questions and it makes them useless.
