If God is just and generous why does he allow so much suffering in Asia and Africa especially children?

Answer 1

Is god doing this? No he is not doing this, but He is a lauding it to happen. Because they are choosing to worship other Gods.and that makes Him sad so he lets it go on so that they will come back to Him.

Answer 2

If the 1st book of Genesis in the bible is correct, then we are the exact replica of God Incarnate on Earth. Thus by this kind of thought according to the book of Genesis, if it is correct, we are as evil and as good as God is; and we are also as helpless and powerful as God is. If there is no God then the question remain is: Why Do Bad Things Happen Anyway? And If We Are Cause and Effect of Some Of The Problems, Then Why Don't We Do Something About It and Learn From Our Mistakes to Lessen Our Chances Of Making the Same Mistake All Over Again?

Answer 3

Old question... God is just... we deserve nothing.
It is written that God will reveal what HE wants us to know. Besides there was the fiasco in the garden of Eden where we betrayed Him, remember? That burdened us, right there. But, because He loves us he allowed us to remain but not without consequences.
But from another view point...As awful and horrible as it is, there is reason. Maybe to bring forth growth in another area. Maybe God wants us to wake up and see how blessed we are. Maybe he wants us to stand up for each other. What do you think the people in the world should do for the oppressed? Follow your thoughts all the way back to how greedy we are. It may seem unrelated but it isn't. Don't push away ....Come together.
A good gardener knows when to stress his plants to yield more crop.

Answer 4

Because we, as humans, are far too stupid and selfish to realize about these kinds of things, and would much rather use our money to buy an X-Box than feed thiry children in SE Asia. It's not God's fault. He gave us plenty of land, and we have plenty of food being produced. But we Americans are wasteful and consume way more than we need. What? Do you think that the earth doesn't yield enough food for everyone? Of course it does. We're just too dumb to give that food to the ones who really need it!

Answer 5

God is not responsible for what is happening to Asian and African children. He gave man free will. This is how Asians and Africans chose to use it.

Why does a man continue to reproduce when he doesn't have a job to pay for housing, clothing or medical care and he can't afford to feed the family? But they keep on having babies. The men sit around discussing "life" but do nothing to improve it while the women do all the work to keep the families together.

God did not cause this. Man did.

Answer 6

The premise of your question is wrong I believe. god is a totally seperate existense. That is to say, god is that which relies on nothing and we are that which totally rely on something else for our existense (God). Therefore that can be no similarity what so ever as we are catagorically diff.

It is then impossible to understand how gods justice works. What we do know is that everythign he does is good, bec if it werent he would have faults and could not be the creator (a topic for another day)

Answer 7

He doesn't allow it, mankind has done it and allows it. Remember God gave us the understanding and the means, our wit to handle these horrible things we are presented with, but he also gave us free will, to do as we chose and it looks like most people enjoy inflict hate, hunger and death on the world for their gains and their ability to be "god like". It is a sad commentary of men, that God so trusted us to take care of this wonderful place called Earth, with the freedom to DO IT. and we just screw it up.

Answer 8

As God ruins us all with Suffering in Asia and Africa, we thank him for helping us with our lives.

Quite a bog. Quite sobering.

Answer 9

First of all, God is neither good nor bad, god is neutral. (that if god exists, but there is no proof)

Second of all, free will is an illusion. Most people believe in free will, because they don't know the future, and because they don't know how our DNA and the environment we live in affects our life.
Believe it or not, humans are not something special. we are very complicated machine that functions from the input of the environment and the society that we live in.

i believe in determinism, and belive that god doesn't play dice, and he doesn't interfere with our lifes, and thats what Albert Einstein believes

Answer 10

All living things are God's children, so suffering comes from life, God is dead and we killed him, whatever else that happens is just the passing of time.
