We all suffer believing in God will not change that (look to the book of Job for proof of that)

People who belive in God suffer coz the mankind in this world is only after materialistic things on earth and people who has faith and are religious people are looked down by the other people.So whenever honest n religious people try do all good things and abide by all the rules n regulations in different fields n set a life without trying to sin,the others faithless people does not allow the good people to follow on their own ways and so they suffer..But don't worry coz God takes care of all people but sees to the religious ones to have a better n peaceful life in the long run.. and you need to fear God and ask him anything by faith..you will surely receive it..always praise God for all the things he has done for you and in this world..
Take care n God Bless You

It is the effect of sin in our lives. How do you purify gold? You have to put it through a process of high heat to burn out the impurities. That is why we need to sometimes suffer a lot more, to be purified and see what sin is doing in our lives, so we can see it and stop doing the sin and begin shunning it. WE are told we should praise God when we have to suffer for Him. Jesus suffered more than anyone else ever has on this Earth so we should rejoice that we can join in His suffering in such a small way. It helps us to form a better character, the character of Christ. Would you not join me in saying that the small suffering that I would do here will be so small a thing to pay for such a great reward as Heaven? We can't work out way in but we can certainly work to clean up our characters so we will be more fit for it. for more info, check below.

Because many who don't believe in God opress them.
Try being a Christian in China or North Korea, or in a Muslim country for example.
Bad things happen to the good people and the bad people allike.
Read the Book of Job in the Bible and see what I mean.

Many that believe in God believe atheists and agnostics suffer from chronic discontent. It's all a matter of bias and perspective.

Suffering should be looked upon as another side of the coin. It makes happiness honed and purges the soul.Suffering is a part of cause and effect phenomena.

Everybody suffers--believers don't have a corner on the market, nor any exclusion. What they may have from their faith is a better ability to cope and bear up under tribulations.

God calls everyone...perhaps in our despair, only the weak and poor hear the call?

Suffering has no relation to faith. Everyone in this world is bound to suffer somehow

Their relationship with God is purely one-sided.
