The Archbishop of Canterbury has said the terror attacks in Paris made him "doubt" the presence of God.
The Most Reverend Justin Welby told the BBC's Songs Of Praise the killings had put a "chink in his armour".
He said his reaction to the attacks had been "first shock and horror and then a profound sadness", heightened because he and his wife once lived in Paris.

The gun and suicide bomb attacks on 13 November, carried out by so-called Islamic State, left 130 people dead.
Prime Minister David Cameron will meet French President Francois Hollande in Paris on Monday to discuss the fight against terror.
They will discuss how to co-operate on counter-terrorism and in the fight against IS in Syria and Iraq, UK officials said.

'Desperate act'

The archbishop said: "Saturday morning, I was out and as I was walking I was praying and saying: 'God, why - why is this happening? Where are you in all this?' and then engaging and talking to God. Yes, I doubt."

He said the shock he felt over the incident was "added to because my wife and I lived in Paris for five years".
"It was one of the happiest places we have lived and to think of a place of such celebration of life seeing such suffering is utterly heart-breaking."

A bombing campaign against IS, particularly by French air forces, was launched in Syria shortly after the attack, but the archbishop warned against a potentially damaging instant reaction.

"Two injustices do not make justice. If we start randomly killing those who have not done wrong, that is not going to provide solutions. So governments have to be the means of justice," he said.

Archbishop Welby also said the manner in which IS militants had distorted their faith, so that they believe their acts are glorifying their God, is "one of the most desperate aspects of our world today".

MY COMMENTARY

THIS DECLARATION BY THE MOST SENIOR ANGLICAN CLERIC IN THE WORLD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. IN NIGERIA, RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND THE SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS WHO ARE THE MOST DREADFUL AND DECEITFUL CREATURES, EVER, WOULD NOT SPEAK THE TRUTH BUT KEEP DECEIVING GULLIBLE NIGERIANS. THE REALITY, FOR ME, OF GOD'S NON-EXISTENCE IS WHY I ABANDONED RELIGION WHICH, IN MY VIEW, IS THE MOST CLASSICAL FARCE AND FRAUD ON THE PLANET EARTH.
