I'm not talking about the treatment, I'm talking about why he let your dad get cancer to begin with. Why does cancer even exist in the world? Assuming the premises that god is perfect, all-powerful, and benevolent are true, creating/letting cancer to exist in the world goes against each one of those claims.
If god purposefully created cancer, he is not benevolent.
If god does not have the ability to remove cancer, he is not all-powerful.
If god did not purposefully create cancer, he is neither all-powerful nor perfect.

>Creates the universe and our planet >Allows us to develop into our free-willed species >Allows the world to develop around us >Should just jump in and remove cancer despite it being a part of life What's the point of removing cancer, that would mean for one intervening with our lives, two would mean he might as well remove anything that could harm us, and three would mean that we might as well shouldn't have free will since we can't handle life situations. If my dad had died then I still would have faith in God, looking at negatives only negatively causes you no personal gain. The times of your life where you experience the biggest personal growth is in uncomfortable, stressful, or hard times. God created free will and decision making because he is benevolent. He allows us to live our lives on our own and to grow because he is benevolent. He allows us opportunities to grow because he is benevolent. Why would he remove cancer and show his power when that defeats the purpose of a life of struggles and growing? Half of the shit you're spewing seems to be based on creationism.
