HANK DAGNY: What If There Is a Hell and No One Believed It?

Dear God, I am one of your season tickets holders, about 44 years now. I've got some cheap seats, far from the real action, but from where I am it does indeed look like you aren't around. Take this "Why does God allow so much suffering" question. Tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, cancer... 

And on a human level, it is said you've given us the free will to do lovely things, but also horrible things, which makes me want to ask: can't we do that without you? I mean, this world seems to resemble one where you simply don't exist.  You used to come right out and proclaim your existence, you used to show your hand.  Sure there's the occasional "miracle" where we dig a baby out of some rubble a week after some disaster, but it seems like more babies don't get that treatment.  

Whether you are there or not, it seems like we'd simply be better off if people at least believed you were there, keeping score, ready to dole out punishment when the game is over. I'd go so far as to say, I'd RATHER have that. A place where EVERYONE believes the celestial camcorder is running, storing all of our actions on some cloud-based server, ready for playback, and payback -- even if it wasn't true. 

At least this world might suffer less from that type of free ILL will that we are allowed under the current explanation of the rules, than we will from the "hope" that that monster with the little girl tied up in his basement gets his in the afterlife.  Right?
