why is there so much death, hate, and pain?

Answer 1

Satan.

Answer 2

For Christians, it's because we sinned. Adam and Eve first sinned and so death, hate, pain, and everything bad came into the world. And so now we have their sin nature so that means WE sin. No one can not sin and so we have death, hate, and pain forever. Of course if you believe that Jesus died on the cross then when you die you will enter Heaven and not have anymore death, hate, pain, or anything bad.

And that means we joined Satan's side because we sinned and Satan keeps us from believing God so Satan's doing this too but we're sinning too. We can't blame Satan though because WE are the one who controls ourselves. God gave us a will to do what we want to do.

Answer 3

The reason for death is you have to have it. God made life and he made death. "Death" is the condition that results from the sin of someone. If he didn't make death then he would not have been able to redeem us, which happened when Jesus died on the cross. Redeemtion is necessary because sin creates a barrier between us and God, and because it gives Satan the right to try and control us. When Jesus died he broke down the barrier between us and God, and he removed the right of Satan to try and control us.

Hate is because God gave us freedom of choice. If he didn't then he couldn't give us love either, because love only occurs where there is freedom of choice.

Pain is necessary because we need feelings. Without feelings then we could not show happiness and joy.

The reason there is so much of it is because people think they won't be held accountable for it when they die, they think that God won't notice, but he does: "I have seen the deep sorrows of my people ..." (Exodus Chapter 3 verses 7 to 10). They think that God lacks the power to deal with them, but they are all mistaken, (Psalm 1 verses 4 and 5, "They are not safe on Judgement day; they shall not stand among the godly.")

Answer 4

I believe that some of it IS from hate, but I also think a lot of it is just misunderstanding and the inability to be empathetic to people not of our own ilk. For instance, a black guy might get into a fight with a white guy just because one or both of them are insecure or being very defensive, and thinking the other means only the worst for them, they may mistake a simple gesture as something really bad. Whereas if they just met incidentally at some function and started to talk, instead they might turn out to have lots in common.

Answer 5

We are in a fatalistic period of time, when there's a total assault on reality, or i should say the 'rose-colored' reality of religion and hope. This is nothing less than the greatest crisis of humanity, in my humble opinion.

The idea of value destruction and cosmic purposelessness seems to be the only true meaning of life. With that kind of attitude, there seems to be no hope. The patterns of nihilism and so much "death, hate and pain" in the world as you state, seem to be conspicuous features of collapsing civilizations.

Answer 6

If there weren't... life,love and pleasure would simply be slightly above nuetrality. In other words, death,hate and pain are the terms we have used to summarize the opposites of what humans have been programmed to obtain and keep. Which leads me to ask, why is death hate and pain instinctively sensed as "bad"?

Answer 7

Death, is something that happens to all of us regardless of our beliefs. Life works that way. Hate is brought about from one person not happy with themselves, and no way to express it unless they cause others to feel what they experience; which in turn brings them some rudimentary form of happiness. Pain, be it physical and emotional is how we react to the stresses of our own environment, often though it can be a learning process. I hope this helps. I have experienced much of all three. Talking helps.

Answer 8

It is a consequence of the way that animals are made up and our emotions. All animals die, and suffer pain. Because humans (and the other great apes) have evolved empathy we feel sadness at death, and hatred at others. But it is a fact we have to live with.

Answer 9

You need to have all your colors before you can paint a picture. Without these things life would be uninteresting. Not that i like death and hate, but honestly what is anything without its antithesis. Good will surely collapse without evil. Sometimes you just have to look at the whole picture, with all of its colors.

Answer 10

Because we people are still living as if it were in 8th century.

Many of us want our own way all the time like children at the age of 2.

We don't like people that are different in any way. We want to control others. Take their stuff, women, etc.

We were told by a man that lived 2000 years ago to help others, and we did not hear when HE said. We twist his words to fit what we want.

Answer 11

Because people, finally, are selfish. Their lives, disregarding individual moments of personal accomplishment, are spent consuming, destroying and reproducing while occasionally hammering something together so they can break it apart.

As a result, not accpeting our own responsibility, we blame something else--God, the Devil, the liberals or conservatives, the kids, our parents, the media or administration or military or brother or sister or teacher and on and on and on ad infinitum into the inventive genre of personal limitation, be it physical, mental, economic or something less vaguely directed.
