We censor what happens to our kids. Why doesn't God?

Question

We wouldn't show our kids movies with graphic sex, violence, etc... But look at the evil f*ckshow we wake up into. What's up with that?

So you guys making excuses for God would probably drop your kids off at Natural Disaster Random Disease Gang Violence Daycare with a pat on the head and tell them it's their own fault if someone runs with scissors.

Answer 1

Welcome to life.

Answer 2

You're blaming God because men refuse to listen to his warnings? God wants people to live a moral life.

One one side he catches flack from people who say God has no right to tell them what to do.

On the other side he catches flack from knuckle heads who expect him to remove free will.

Then there are those who love to blame God for every bad thing men do to each other and often these fail to see the wrong they do.

The list of human conflicts against God goes on and on. For some insane reason, people think God should be their puppet and seldom ever show him due respect.

Judgment day is coming and if you ever faced a human judge in court you know full well, a human Judge will not tolerate insults to his face in his court. Man is nothing. In God's court - there wont be any tolerance of any kind of lies, accusations.

You curse God and think he should just take it in stride. A man curse you and you'd want to rip out his wind pipe - yet you stand in judgment of God. Something is really messed up with your thinking.

Answer 3

First of all, how do you know he's NOT protecting you from worse things than what you see every day?
Besides that, it is clear from the Bible that God doesn't want people to do all that crazy stuff, so if we lived by His way, no one would have to see that, but people choose it, and they think it doesn't hurt anyone, but it does. But God has chosen to give us freedom of choice, instead of making us all puppets. Messed up people aren't God's fault--it's either their own choosing or they were messed up by someone else's choice.

Answer 4

Because humans are more righteous and wise than the creator. Read the book of Job to discover how the creator is demented and suffers from every possible complex. A careful reading will reveal that Job's behavior was far superior to that of his god. And his god did not like it to be sure.

Answer 5

Kids shouldnt be censored too long because when their friends tell them about things like sex its not as good as their parents telling them. The kids need to be protected until about Jr. high, jr high is when they should be able to see any violence.

Answer 6

If you tell your kid not to run with scissors and he does anyway and trips and jabs it in his eye, who's fault is that? If you tell your kid not to stick his finger in a electrical socket and he does and gets shocked, whose fault is that? When God told his creation to listen to him and the angel that became Satan and mankind said nah, we can take care of ourselves and things turned out the way they did, whose fault is that? Don't worry, God will correct the mess we've made in due time. What we need to realize is that we can't take care of ourselves and need God's direction, just like kids need to listen to their parents direction.

Answer 7

Who says He doesn't? The old "what goes around comes around" is perhaps merely God giving people their come uppance. If God censored everything we did, we would no longer have free choice. God gives us freedom to choose to follow His will for our lives or not. Choosing not to obey Him usually complicates our lives immeasurably.

Answer 8

Like other parents with good parenting skills, God gives guidelines for his kids to follow. When kids choose to ignore the family (HIS), guidelines and bounderies, also known as rules, they suffer consequences.

He never has and never will FORCE anyone into anything or take from them their free agency to choose. As to what's up with the freakshow? I think God would like us to ask ourselves that too? He'd probably say, "Sooooo....how's that working for you?"

Answer 9

I think God uses life to test our character.You can either participate in the ****show or you can choose to rise above it.He wants to see which one you pick.That's why He doesn't censor us.

Answer 10

I am agnostic....
But from my Catholic School days I recall something about FREE WILL.
The worlds problems are caused by people.
Not demons, devils, hoodoos, gremlins, or evil spirits.
Its people exercising their free will.

Answer 11

God does censor us.
However, we are (for the most part) rebellious.
We don't seem to care about God's advice.
But it is there.
