#2. "...the more I realized I could not believe in a God that would protect a monster over a child (amongst other things as well)..."
#3. "...we pray so much and are some of the hardest believers, yet our lot in life remains the same generation after generation. I didn't understand why we were suffering so much even though we went to church and prayed so much. So, I stopped believing, stop praying and start doing and became very successful..."
#12. "...I just can't fathom how a higher power allows so much grief and hurt (at a personal level as well as across all of society).

I agree with all of these.
