some black, hispanic, white, gay, straight, and the christian faith does not tolerate some? Look into the past for christian racial discrimination. It seems we are not created equal, so god must be a bastard. How can you believe when this is fact, we are born different and have to fight against different opponents. Shouldn't we all have had a fair chance? Bring on the scripture!!!

it's the way we are. god didnt really make us look like we are, that was our parents. our parents are responsible for giving birth to us, and being gay or straight is just the way we were brought up. obviously we're not all created equal, it's all part of individuality. at least you know that there's no one in the world that's exactly like you. that would be freaky in a way. racial discrimination is just something that makes us racial because of the way we were brought up and taught while we were younger. i was born with a big bold head, but looking back on pictures of me with it i dont have a problem with it because it all comes naturally, and i should accept it rather than criticize it and others. i was brought up in the neighbourhood whereby at school people would always pick on me, make fun of me, bully me, tease me, ridicule me and my aunt would always bully me around all because i was different to them. (i had a full set of hair, so that wasnt the problem. it was because my face wasnt pretty like the other girls). i can cry and sulk all i want because of how people treated me, but it's never gonna solve anything except for my emotions, and based on the fact that it was because of the way i look, i honestly think that although it seemed unfair that at the end of the day, what really counts is my own life, being able to be me, and live my life the way i want to live it.

I wish there was an answer. As a Christian, I just don't know why God created a world in which he allows people (including Christians) to be unchristian-like toward others. I don't know why things are unfair, and I don't know why everyone doesn't get a fair chance. I would agree that these are the types of questions that can make people (including myself) sometimes question their faith. However, whenever I have doubts, I eventually think of the positive things in the world, that perhaps more accurately reflect God's work in the world. I also think that God has his own reasons for allowing those things to happen (I don't believe he MAKES those things happen). If God DOES exist, then we can't expect to apply human rationale on his decisions. If God is God, then he (and I use the masculine pronoun because it's just easier) has a plan and a purpose that would be far beyond what mere humans can make sense of.

Tell me plz so you only want the christians to answer your questions because you see hard bent on pointing out scripture and using the word god which (me) Islamic woman dont reconize at all so be straight on whom your questions are to!
I would like to answer your question
no we should not all be equal or the same for how would we gain strength and knowledge and how could we humble ourselves and know that nothing of 2 is the same!
and what you percieve things should be would be bland and death would be more kind than how things are and loving the maker and the knowledge holder of all things and that ONE Allahu ta'ala!
Peace

You're mixing apples and oranges. God did create us equal, in His eyes. This doesn't negate the differences in people's appearance, race, creed, or ethnicity. Separation of languages came from man trying to build himself up to God's level (Tower of Babel). That led to the various colors we see now, which explains ethnicity & religious differences.
By your approach, we all did have a "fair chance," as God created it that way. Man, like every other "tragedy," brought it upon himself.
Your best bet would be to let God handle your battles, as there are some that you'll just never win...

There is no god as the idea has been sold over the past few thousand years. The idea of god does not favor any one group over another. It does not give suggestions or commands that involve conquering and killing other people or animals. It is so much larger than ourselves that these people have a hard time even grasping god as something else. It is a lot easiert o follow dogma blindly without accepting that we are not the center of the universe or existence as a whole. The root of all of the inequalities that we have in the world today is the mindset of people who follow religions where people believe that the word of god was given to one person to share with others. Also, that this revelation gives them the right to oppress, kill, rape, and torture people who do not agree with their worldview.

God likes variety. He does not look at the outward signs of beauty which can change by the culture in which you live. He looks at the heart, the intentions of people, their worship, their love of their neighbors which include the peoples you mention. If God only preferred people who had amputations... what would you think then? Look past your own ideas. Check out the Bible before freaking out about God.

We invented god to give us hope. Without out everyone is lost. Its why we love, why we try to be good, why we want to succed. Its all about hope. Without hope and faith we have nothing to look forward to but dirt. Who would be excited about that? Now add the hope and the faith that there is something greater than us. Now there might be a reason to spend our time here a little better.

You and I are sitting in school. You are much better in math than I am. But I am better in history. You need a lesson in history and I need extra help in math. Maybe our lives are laid out as to give our souls the help they need in order to grow and evolve. These things are beyond our understanding because we can't see the future, the final; result. We can get mad and be bitter towards God, but we are just human and as humans do not have the capacity for understanding the big picture.

These different aspects, for lack of a better word, that you speak of, were brought upon man by himself, not God. God did not make us discriminate one another because of appearance, race, heritage, weight, etc....Man has brought these differences upon himself. We are all one, equal, in God's eyes. He loves us all. But it is up to us to love Him back. For a forced love is not a welcome love, but one we can proclaim to Him ourselves is true. Nothing can stop you from loving the Lord. God bless.

Who pronounced God become honest!?!?!?!? he's in simple terms, and there's a huge distinction. God promised that that people who have self assurance in Him could be rewarded, and people who don't think in Him would be punished. Ther is not any different context under which we are judged. Your "goodness" or "badness" has NO concerning whether or no longer you pass to Heaven or Hell. basically your thought in God, shown through your love for Jesus, is the figuring out ingredient. yet God is in simple terms, organic justice. all anybody is coated via the comparable regulation. God would not manage every person unjustly. ALL persons get the comparable possibility to have self assurance, or no longer. God would not substitute or alter His regulations to greater healthy one individual or team over yet another. that must be unfair. No, definitely anybody have the comparable determination -- have self assurance in God, or no longer. And their advantages or punishment is obviously spelled out previous to TIME. there is aboslutely no question that believers gets rewarded with an eternal existence interior the presence of God, a existence without concerns, no needs, no desires, and no fears. people who don't have self assurance are given an eternal existence in Hell, punished via the certainty that they might have chosen yet in a diverse way, and via a burning fireplace which could no longer be positioned out, burning a physique which could on no account die. God would not artwork on "fairness". basically infants use THAT argument ("yet mom, it ain't honest..."). ADULTS understand the diffence between "honest" and "in simple terms", and price justice over fairness. And God is definitely and thoroughly in simple terms in his judgements, utilising His regulation to ALL individual without understand to age, intercourse, race, or faith -- basically their thought in Him
