I have concluded that God has nothing to do with it, and that the sole responsibility for it is on mankind. Diseases and cancers are due to the things we as a race have come up with on our own not an outside entity.

Suffering is not of God. Suffering is of man. Buddhists believe that suffering is related to attatchment to the physical world.
Our desires lead us to suffer because expectation is greed. Unrequited greed creates suffering. God gave us free will, not greed or suffering.
We chose greed, not God.
In relation to disease. Do you think God gives a F*CK about your physical body? No. You do. So your attatchment to your body gives you suffering. God does not.
All suffering is man made.

They don't always say it, but I think those who do say it to make a person feel better (though it seldom does). Like saying, "it is out of your control"
For those who are religious, they are saying it with the hope and faith that the person who is suffering and dying now are part of a greater plan- like there is a reason that they are suffering and dying and we will all understand why later. Obviously you have made your mind up about this and it would not affect you. But for one person talking to another of equal faith, it may actually help them through their suffering to believe that there is a purpose or reason for it.
I, personally, have come to the conclusion that it is best not to say anything at all when it comes to dying. Just shut up and be there when needed.

because such is existence. Why is the question that makes us develop, alongside with soreness and suffering. A fruit is picked from a tree or it receives ripe and falls off. such is existence. basically save in options this, we are the soul and the soul can under no circumstances die. Hell and or damnation is known because the 2d death interior the Bible. So get Jesus and receive the Holy spirit. we do not have any actual administration over leaving the body. yet, we do have some administration over what would take position to us when we go away it. God bless!

When people die, we wonder why, how and what if this and what if that. The suffering is part of all that. Life is a puzzle that everything that happens is a piece, and we will never be able to "see" because it is just too big. Someday we will though, but not till we reach the other side~

its a way to sugar coat things. ... like telling a bride, its good luck if it rains on your wedding..c'mon what a load of crap...
Death and suffering is part of the earthly world. But God is able to use these experiences for good if we allow it by not getting bitter, angry or falling into a depression, but just trusting God with our own lives.

It can be looked at in two ways. One, we all have to die...whether we're buried or caught up in the rapture....so it is God's will. He gives Death authority to come...Death can't come without God's say so.
On the other side, I do feel that man has to atone for his sins and sometimes that comes about through affliction and disease. So I believe that some sickness is punishment. Also, some people could be dealing with something their ancestor brought upon them...generational curses.
But with anything we do have the power to "change" God's mind. And what I mean is if God sees that we are truly sincere and we are pleading for his mercy (our will is in line with his will) he can remove those generational curses...turn back death, heal us of our sickness.

2 words. Bad Religion.
3 more words. God's Love. excellent song from BR. basically says similar things. listen to it. its good.
talks about all the pain and suffering people go through and then the christians just say that its becuase god loves them, as if thats supposed to alleviate the pain any. good question, though.

It's karma. What we reap, so shall we sow. We are all responsbile for our own actions and we must live out the consequences (through reincarnation). . God set up the system, and there's no need for him to interfere. His "plan" was simply that we are accountable.
As you have concluded ... we bring the suffering upon ourselves.

God determines when someone's time is up, so in that sense, it's in God's plan. Death isn't the end, because that person will go to heaven which lasts for eternity.
