What did I do wrong, how come I am the one to be judged, why do I have to suffer this life that allows me to see agony and suffering-what did I do to make God condem me to this place where survival is necessary in order to continue to Love. I do not feel Loved by a God-I do not feel Loved by anything beyond those that Love me. My parents gave me life as a proof of their love to one another. They knew they could teach me the things I would learn in order to pursue my own happiness. I have found many things in life that allow me to enjoy JOY-to express hope and much of this took courage to accept that life can be wonderful at times, but that is my ability, what about siamese twins I see that have to suffer-or mentally retarded babies that grow into adulthood-too unaware to accept YOUR GOD-are they condemned? I question your God and its motives-why would he create to destroy? Your books describe ends one with and one without God-I didn't ask to make this choice, what am I doing here

Are you in agony and suffering or are you enjoying JOY, hope and pursuit of happiness?

What are you doing here? Well that is a very good question, and its one that I can't answer. As a matter of fact, no one can answer that for you.
You have some good questions about God. Personally I don't believe in the biblical god. I don't know if there is a creator, I doubt it. However I know there is a higher power - Nature. Humans can't even pretend to be able to control Nature on Earth, let alone in the galaxy.
I like this philosophy - Since I am alive I want to learn the truth. Knowledge fills the void in me that religion fills for some people. If you want to look for god, however, I suggest you read about different religions and learn the similarities. Its interesting and it just might reveal something to you.

It was our common ancestors that messed it up.
Bible, page one.
It may not seem right to inherit the sins of your ancestors, because you didn't do the exact sin. But think about it. If you were born into a situation where your food and shelter were paid for with blood money, and the other guy's kid is getting by with honest hard-earned money, and God is real, he has to sort that out and he will. If he loves you, he will punish you in this life instead of in eternity.
That's why you praise God when things are good, and praise him when things are not so good. The suffering we experience in this life is not a big deal in the context of Christ's sacrifice, and what God can do for us in eternity. Love God.

The mere fact that you are asking this question is God working in you. Agony and suffering ,as you call it is actually a way to build us up. He never gives us more then we can handle so therefore you must be a strong individual. I believe that sometimes we have to face certain trials or tribulations and overcome them in order for God to take us to a higher level. My opinion is God is getting you ready for something bigger and better and this is your training or test.

God created us in innocence and paradise, we sinned against him when we were tempted, there is a saying true love is a theory until it is tested. That is why God sent his son Jesus Christ, you dont have to be judged, just ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and to be the lord and guide of your life. It is worth it a million times over, the world has nothing good to offer anyone. Pray for it today my friend, dont be ashamed of it, its the smartest thing a man can do is get forgiveness from god.

I believe your life is a trial that prepares you for the holy kingdom. follow his ways to the best of your ability and ask forgiveness for the times you stray from his path. That is all we can do and he will see to it that a place is made for you in a wonderful heaven

Heaven is for Gods people and Gods people dont mock God. The mockers already have their eternal resting place all picked out.

God didn't put you on this Earth to punish you, he put you here to discover there is Love, it comes from people such as friends, family members and others, but the greatest love you can discover is God's Love!

Well I was always taught, growing up, that god put us all here for a reason wether it be to help another person or just do his will. I have always believed strongly in my beliefs.

You are not alone. Just don't think about their God and accept that life is just full of ups and downs.
