We have probably all heard the question: “Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?” But have you ever heard this similar question: “Why does God allow good people to do really bad things?” Pause and ponder those two questions for a few seconds.

Humans are the only species of beings which God explicitly said He created “in the image of God.”
