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. In our journey through God’s “Grand Narrative” found in the Bible, we come today to Judges 17&18 and that’s where I find rooted that second question: “Why does God allow good people to do really bad things?” Of course, the first answer is that rarely does God interfere with the human exercise of reason and choices, even if they are bad and will hurt innocent people. Humans are the only species of beings which God explicitly said He created “in the image of God.”
