God can't be real?

Question

I just recently lost my belief in this so-called "almighty". I know he's not responsible for the crap going on in the world. But I also know he allows it to happen. It seems he allows evil people to succeed in life and his followers to suffer from it.

Although satan is responsible for the crap, if God was truely in control he can stop it but he doesn't, and in my opinion that's more evil than satan himself. Yet people call him just? Fair? Loving?

I mean come on people, has your sense of someone's love and mercy totally taken a twist! You think a loving God destroys you and makes you suffer? Look at all the starving and diseased children in the world!!!! Look at how he allowed wars and the dark ages that killed millions total!!

With the way this world is going God can't be in control because he can't be real. Satan can't be real either. What's happening now is because of us.

Evolution doesn't sound real either. So right now I'm bewildered as to how and why we came into existence.

Answer 1

God is like fairies, unicorn, giants, etc. These are all imagined by us. The sufferings we see around us are real and they are mostly manmade. If you look close enough in every problem, there is a perfectly good answer to each of them.

Answer 2

God will not step in because man does not ask him too. There is so much sin in the world today and Satan has so much control over a lot of things. But the harsh reality is that since we have free will and there is such thing as sin - God can't just change something that we don't like. God will help if we ask for him to help and if we believe he can help and if we do things to help ourselves.
Satan makes people suffer and Satan is the one who allows evil people to have it all - they work for him in a sense and he wants them to think everything is OK without God, so why do they need him. That is why they have it all.
Everything happens for a reason. All the wars have happened for a reason, the end is coming and that is why the world is unbearable today more than 20 years age.
I hope you come to your senses and see that God wants you to prosper and wants to give you what you need and wants to bless you, but you have to accept him and believe and do things for him and you will see many blessings. You have to help yourself first.

God, our Creator, does exist. You are wrong that he allows evil people to succeed in life and his followers to suffer from it. The evil are not able to get to Heaven and are eternally lost. Men are born like Adam, so sinful that even as light comes into this world, they will reject it and prefer darkness instead because of their love for sin. We are CREATURES, while He is the CREATOR. With Christ an endless hope, without Christ a hopeless end, sums up the message. If you still have doubts, feel free to email isabellaflorentine( that's me) immediately notifying me of this.

I my self have gone through this stage already just read it and it may give you some insight. fyi I study magic and the manipulation of energy. It is some interesting stuff maybe you should look into it.

Answer 5

I am sorry that you lost your belief in God the Almighty. However, are you sure you know what the term "Almighty" means. According to the sense of your writing (which asks very valid questions), you seem to expect God's might, justice, love, and mercy to fit your expectations and not His. Also, you are too fixated on suffering and not enough on the good and order in the world that still exists even today.
The Jewish, Catholic, Muslim people live with persecution, prejudice, injustice, apathy, and fear (and sometimes this is experienced from those of their own fold) for centuries. And yet, all go about the world with hope, joy, and faithfulness. Are we all delusional? Most would think so. However, there is something real and true that causes us to continue to believe in an Almighty God. It is an understanding of His might, which is bound in His love. So, you must understand the depths of His love to understand His might.
Yes, there is suffering in the world. Most is within our control to change (e.g.) if world goverments would justly distribute their wealth to feed hungry children. And as far as disease...if big company pharmacies would value you the suffering patient instead of the medicine's retail value. And if people would just care for their bodies and health, then big medicine would have no need to pay so much to find cures and rely on our wallets for reimbursement.
If we were to stand together and live virtuous lives and have the belief and hope of the truth, which is that in God we can affect change, then the world may be better.
However, there are evils that are outside of our control (e.g.) earthquakes, floods, tornados, famine, plagues, etc. etc.
It is not that these things are evil in themselves, but they demonstrate a wounded order in nature. These things we suffer with and accept as a part of reality. These things will be redeemed in God who is all powerful.
Yet, to get to your complaint. You state that God is not "almighty" or "just" because of all the suffering in the world. He is not real or in control because of the tragedies of history. However, God is Almighty because He conquered the power of suffering and death....What do I mean? When the Son died on the Cross, His death reconciled humanity and the world with the Father, when He offered His Spirit. Now where was the power resting? In the face of death itself. Because He, who is life, died in the flesh, death was conquered because of His life. So, death has no power to keep us from being good, faithful, and charitable to one another. Death no longer has the power or final say in our existence. We live beyond death (the resurrection of Christ proves this). And so, God is so mighty that the tragedies of death have no power to keep us or destroy us.
Where is the proof? As terrible as you envision the world, I see that there is still goodness in the world. Are we still not a lawful society? Do you not have friends among you? Is not this letter a sign of God's might to uphold you and show you that love is given in your desperate moment? Do you not see the good deeds done for one another? We are still a loving people despite all the suffering, because God is almighty and His love cannot be impeded even by evil. Even though the Black Plague happened, thousands slaughtered by the Crusades, Rev. Jim Jones, Heaven's Gate, Aids epidemic, etc. etc. We are still alive and a people.
Also, remember this final quote and ponder it to help offer you hope. "When Jesus died on the Cross, it was NOT to take away pain and suffering, but to fill them with His presence."
May the Lord bless and keep you. May He let the light of His face shine upon you.
God's and your beast of burden

God doesn't make us suffer. He gave us a beautiful clean world! We have good and evil because of the temptation of the devil. Some of us have chosen the wrong path which is why we have so much evil in this world. God will come again to redeem us. Read Revelations and you will understand. Don't give up your faith! You have nothing to lose by believing.

Why wouldn't evolution sound real? It doesn't happen in 1 day, evolution... It takes millions of years to work. And to be honest, our interferance with the way nature works might have disturbed evolution. (dogs shouldn't exist, according to evolution. They only exist because prehistoric men tamed wolves and breed them to produce tamer animals: dogs). But it still exists: the proof is the existence of several human races: blacks in the sunny regions of the world, with black skin to protect them, small squatty people in the cold regions not to lose heat too fast... and the list goes on and on.

And for your god problem. Forget about him. Live your life. You'll see when you die if he exists or not. If he exists and had poor reasons for allowing this mess, then I'll assist you to kill him. If he has a good reason, then I'll listen to it. And if he doesn't exist... well, I guess we'll just stop to exist then, so live your life. There might not be anything after you die.

Answer 8

So you'd rather have God control everyone and everything like puppets? That sounds like a great life. I don't have an answer for you, and I know I'll piss off all the nonbelievers by saying this, but I trust in God, and I trust in his plan for me and the world. Parents have to let their children make their own mistakes. Yes, I've been hurt, and I've briefly gotten angry at God for some of the things that happen to me, my family, and the world in general. But then I realize that he DOES have a plan, and as much as it hurts sometimes, I have to leave him in charge. I know I am loved by God, and I know that he has something in mind for me. I can't get angry if his plan for me doesn't parallel mine.

Answer 10

God gives us "free will" He allows us to make our own decisions. The "bad" in our world comes from an abundance of "bad decisions" Don't blame the "Great I Am" for human error! He is and always will be Lord and Master!
