God created man as rational and free, thereby placing Himself under man's judgement.

A man walking through a forest saw a fox that had lost its legs and wondered how it lived. Then he saw a tiger come with game in its mouth. The tiger had its fill and left the rest for the fox.

The next day too God sent the tiger to feed the fox. The man began to wonder at God's greatness and thought, "I too shall lie in a corner trusting the Lord to give me all I need."

He did this for a month, and was almost at death's door when he heard a voice that said, "O you who are on the path of error, open your eyes to the Truth ! Imitate the tiger not the fox."

On the street I saw a naked child, hungry and shivering in the cold. I became angry and said to God, "Why do you allow this ? Why don't you do something ?"

God did not reply. That night he said, quite suddenly, "I certainly did something. I made you."
