You don't make suffering more bearable. Tragedy persists, no matter what you believe about God. If the Bible is false in its portrayal of a God of infinite justice, love, mercy and righteousness, the last vestige of reason and hope is gone. Suffering is purposeless and irrational. History is wholly capricious.
Life is meaningless.
Only in the light of the Bible and its God of pure love is life ultimately bearable. Though it cannot always be explained, suffering has meaning and purpose. God patiently, lovingly, wisely, unfailingly uses trouble and tragedy benevolently.
