Where do YOU think G-d is?

Every time you ask the question, hasn't the reply been the same monotheistic God.

No, not at all. It's not uncommon for me to hear a response like "yeah, that's the deity I had in mind, but feel free to share from your tradition too." It feels courteous to wait to share a tale until I'm sure that it is something the OP wanted to include in the discussion. Besides, I endeavor to practice active listening. The practice of active listening involves asking questions to clarify the speaker's meaning in order to facilitate good communications and mutual understanding.

Curious now, how would you answer the OP concerning your God(s)?

As you know, I don't believe in God, because if there was a God I can't fathom why he/she would allow innocents to suffer in the first place.

My question posed to anyone willing to answer is: Where do you think G-d is when bad things happen to good or innocent people? That is to say, do you think he's just ignoring us, punishing us, or some other third thing?

For example, say a child went through some severe abuse for the majority of their life. Where do you think G-d would be in that instance?

God will offer recompense for all those that suffer any injustice or harm at the hands of Tyrants.

Regards Tony.
